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.
