@johnyellowmead. Chamberlain had no real choice, as Britain's 1930s rearmament had not been for a European war, but for defence of the Empire and the Home islands. When he chose instead to pursue war, we had no Army to speak of, apart from France's. And we know how that ended. — PolitiTweet.org

@UKJimInLondon @ClarkeMicah The point is that Chamberlain *chose* appeasement, Churchill realised there was no alternative.
