Counter-commentary for points 6 and 9.
Didn't Chamberlian make a peace treaty with Hitler during the Munich Agreement which turned a blind eye to Germany annexing Czechoslovakia in exchange for the promise of no further expansion?
UK and France guaranteed Poland's independence and were called to arms when Poland was invaded in September 1939. I'm willing to acknowledge that the reparations imposed on Germany after WW1 were steep and played a role leading up to WW2, but Hitler must've known war was sure to happen if he invaded Poland.
Lastly, Chamberlain didn't get replaced by Churchill until May 1940.
Granted this assumes that what we were told was true, but it's hard to imagine that Chamberlain gave Hitler the green light to conquer more countries before heading home to champion "peace in our time"
