Overview
What you will study
The Neville Chamberlain and Appeasement course offered by University of Oxford will discuss the following:
Although the British public has long regarded Neville Chamberlain as a poor Prime Minister because of his appeasement policy, which is regarded as unintentionally encouraging the military aggression of the Axis powers, professional historians have taken a more positive view.
The first wave of ‘revisionist’ historians in the 1960’s praised Chamberlain’s Munich policy for buying time during which rearmament could begin in earnest, conscription could be introduced and technical innovation such as radar could be developed.
A second wave of ‘revisionist’ historians towards the end of the 20th century argued that appeasement was a sensible policy in line with prioritising defence of the Empire and avoiding continental European military entanglements.
