Neville Chamberlain I believe lost either a son or a brother on the Western Front. Most of the British Government of all parties had either served in the trenches and or lost family and friends.

The British are not warmongers and for the most part will go out of their way to avoid conflict and yes appeasement was practised out of fear of ever having to suffer what they suffered in WW1.

I say agaon Britain had no aggresive intent towards Germany. George V was the cousin of the Kaiser. At the Battle of Waterloo, Germany had assisted Britain against its long time foe, the French. The British Royal family were of German decent, Quenn Victorias much lamented and never forgotten husband was German and it came as a considerable dissapointment and shock to the British to find themselves at war with Germany.
