The History Of Churchill's Involvement: The Outbreak Of The Vietnam War

England and France, fearing another war established a policy of appeasement to by time and rearm its forces. The European countries believed that Hitler would only retake the Sudetenland; this land was historically Germany's homeland(6). This was another mistake by France and England because with the Sudetenland he gained the famous Skoda armament factories and was ultimately a more dangerous military opponent(6). Until the remainder of Czechoslovakia was swallowed in 1939 all Hitler had done seemed reasonable(6). Until then he had only tried to obtain lands where ethnic Germans lived(6). The disregard of the Treaty of Versailles would be the main factor that allowed Germany to regain their power and ultimately bring the world into another war.

Britain still hoped to avoid the war at this time and offered an appeasement to Germany stating that they would willing give Sudetenland to them if they left the rest of

Eubank also stated the French “feared a repetition of the bloody sacrifices of 1914-1918.” and the British wanted to appease Hitler. Not many countries had agreed with the Munich Agreement.

The appeasement policy was not ideal for Europe. It proved to allow Hitler opportunities to gain control over most of Europe. Winston Churchill, a politician and army leader, stated that, “I have always held the view that the maintenance of peace depends upon the accumulation of deterrents against the aggressor, coupled with a sincere effort to redress grievances.”(Document B). Churchill believed that if France or Britain put in an effort to strategize and stop Germany, they would have prevented Germany from invading Czechoslovakia. Churchill also further states that, “... I ventured to … pledge that in conjunction with France and other powers they would guarantee the security of Czechoslovakia … and I still believe that if that course had been followed events would not have fallen to this disastrous state…”(Document B). This shows how Europe had many chance to stop Hitler by working together.

Appeasement was arguably the only realistic option for British policy towards Germany between 1936 and 1938 when considering the fact that appeasement permitted Britain to rearm, thus preparing her more effectively for war, whilst also giving her the moral high ground. Nevertheless, for some “appeasement has become a dirty word, synonymous with weakness and defeatism in the face of naked aggression” since Britain’s policy of appeasement succumbed to Nazi aggression and failed to actually prevent war. Subsequently many historians argue that alternatives including a ‘Grand Alliance’ and military intervention in the Rhineland (1936) and Czechoslovakia (1938) would have been better options. However, when considering the several hindrances to these alternatives including political and public stance, financial difficulties and the depth of pacifist objection, it appears that appeasement was the only realistic option.

Spain had a lot of power behind her to begin with and then she ended up falling because she went into war and a very young vice president came into the White House because the president (Mckinley) was shot and killed on a hike. Most Americans wanted freedom but ended up not getting it in the end. When Theodore Roosevelt was part of the Rough Riders, he commented that ‘Nine-tenths of the men were better horsemen then I was, and probably two- thirds were better shots, but no one could command them as I could.’

main aim was to defeat the USSR and create an empire in the East. He

Moreover, while Jews in Germany were being tormented and war was approaching, Great Britain did not want to take part. Neville Chamberlain, the Prime Minister of the British from 1937-1940, decided to sign an appeasement “a peace treaty” with Hitler stating that the British only wanted peace (Neufeldt, 109). However, Hitler already had his plans, and the

The Vietnam War was one of the bloodiest wars in the history of Vietnam. Vietnam use to be a peaceful country until the idea of communism started spreading across Vietnam. Many wanted to stay democratic but saw what happened to the Germans and started to lean towards communism. Many also wanted to stay democratic and still had it hopes high that it will soon get their lives and economy back on track.

Roosevelt once said in 1940 "I have said this before, but I shall say it again and again: your boys are not going to be sent into any foreign wars.” Roosevelt wasn't just thinking about himself, he was thinking about the nation and he sent the allies which is the military, they had prepared for war, that he had to fight against the threat and instead of putting the civilians at risk he put his military out in order to fight against the enemies because they decided that they wanted to save their country. After, war broke out in Europe, Roosevelt noticed that the conflict will have and also had threatened the United States security and searched for ways to help Europe without being involved in the war but the United States could not have avoid

Germany had faced defeat of France and Great Britain and came to Czechoslovakia’s aid in 1938. They contacted the British Foreign Office, told Britain of their ideas and main plot, and asked for a strong British warning to

The agreement to give the Sudetenland to Germany was decided without any representative of Czechoslovakia. Perhaps the great powers thought that this would make the discussions simpler, though it can be argued that this was just another example of the ongoing European policy of imperialism. Albright herself supposed that “for centuries, British imperialism had been refereeing disputes among factious groups; why not mediate now among the tribes of Central Europe?” The idea of Czechoslovakian input was brought up during the conference, it seemed that none of the four leaders truly bothered to wonder if the Czechoslovakian government had an opinion on the matters at

Notably missing from the creators of this document was Czechoslovakian leadership who had little to no input when it came the decision-making. When this particular group of actors came together they had incredibly different agendas and goals when it came to the pact and the Germans annexation of more land. These various aims became blatantly clear when the final agreement was reached and the eventual aftermath it caused. Naturally, all of these leaders were first and foremost worried about the expectations of their people and government. Many critics of the deal say that Prime Minister Chamberlain’s appeasement for Hitler and the Nazi party failed not only the Czech people but much of Europe as well(Strang 481). When this process first began it was obvious that Europe did not want to begin another war, which German seemed to be plating the seeds for, and were doing everything in their power to prevent violent conflict.

Hitler replaced General Franz Halder and made sure no news leaked out about resignation. Beck as to utter to Hitlers plan to attack Czechoslovakia and would justify the overthrow of Hitler. They also informed the British of their intentions to overthrow Hitler and request that both Britain and France adopt an openly aggressive stance toward Hitler. Hitler proceeded ahead with his war plans, the military rulers of Poland, along with Hungary's Facets government, both agreed to stand by and let Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia in return for share of the spoils. Britain and France have agreed among themselves to give Hitler the Sudetenland, now confronted the Czech government. On September 22nd, an optimistic chamberlain returned to Germany to

Britain and France warned Germany that if they took Poland war was going to brake. Britain and France followed a policy of appeasement, which let Hitler achieve his plans without problems. As Hitler saw the perfect opportunity of taking Austria because in this country were many Germans, he said it was his right take over Austria, after this Britain and France remained quiet following the appeasement policy.
