Who cares what Chamberlain thought. SO now you know more of diplomacy than a British Prime Minister. Why am I not surprised? It is appeasement when a sovereign nation is offered to the aggressor to avoid war. Gee, Chamberlain thought he had assured "Peace in our time", remember? And appeasement covers a lot more territory than that. I think yo've got some homework to do. Don't confuse diplomacy with appeasement. Don't confuse diplomacy with appeasement.
