Neville Chamberlain

Neville Chamberlain was the Prime Minister of the UK from 1937 to 1940. He was the leader of the Conservative Party which was the leading party in the National Government at the time. He was succeeded by Winston Churchill.

Poor Chamberlain is often labelled as being a weak Premier because of his policies of appeasement towards Adolf Hitler and the rest of 'em. However, appeasement had been going on since the mid 1920s, but Chamberlain got stuck with the label because World War Two started during his Premiership.

Republicans compare people who don't support the Iraq war to being like Neville Chamberlain, but Republicans don't realise that Chamberlain was following what his country wanted. George W Bush just blamed 9/11 on Iraq to gain support from his country to make it look like he was doing what they wanted.
