Chamberlain also exhibited realism, with a view that war needed to be delayed while Britain rearmed. Which it did, even given the constraints of the 1930s economy. It's still hard to get past the Munich betrayal of the Czechs, and the British over estimated German military capability.
Exactly. Chamberlain had lived through the consequences of WW1 just 20 years earlier and feared for the impact of another war on the younger generation.
