The Munchen Conference

Written from the point of view of a British citizen:

The Munchen Conference is seriously disappointing. It seemed like everyone who opposed Germany's subtle expansion into Czechoslovakia slept in and missed the meeting. The conference has changed nothing. Germany will still continue to expand, but now it will do it quietly as opposed to expansion through brute force. The conference was a half-assed attempt at diplomacy. The soul purpose of the conference was to appease Germany for the time being. It is saddening to know that our leadership is so poor that the government cannot put its foot down on an obvious problem. Germany's expansion is obvious sign for concern, and that the fact that Europe either does not realize it, or is not concerned by it, is very disconcerting. It is blatantly obvious that Germany is planning for war; It has already created its own air force,announced its military conscription, and is building its allies at an alarming pace. The Munchen Conference was an opportunity for Europe to kill the momentum of Germany's expansion and conquest; I fear the repercussions for passing up the chance.
