Is it good? Ben G

Peace should always be the first option in a conflict between nations. However, as we have seen many times in recent (last 250 years) history, war became a necessity. Case in point: World War II. Peace was tried first. Neville Chamberlain, the PM of the UK at the time, made an agreement with Hitler over the annexation of the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia. Hitler would be allowed to take over the area, and he promised that his territorial demands had met. Chamberlain returned to England proclaiming “… peace in our time…”   However, this was a phony peace, actually called appeasement. About a year later, Hitler launched his joint invasion of Poland, with the help of the USSR. The Second World War had begun.
