Munich Conference

READ Dorothy Thompson's broadcast "Peace: And the Crisis Begins" from Oct. 1938.
WRITE an op-ed style blog post in which you take a position on the Munich Conference. Try and look not from hindsight – where we can see the atrocities of Hitler and the Nazis – but from the perspective of someone living in Britain or France in the 1930s. (Do some outside research if you need to.)

(This is not my opinion, it's what a British or French in 1930's may have believed.)

The world is a violent place and quite often there are wars that decimate the people and resources. After violent wars, all the countries want is peace so they can recuperate their resources and lost lives. The Munich Agreement is the almost the perfect solution for the damage done to our countries from the past war.

Even though the non-German people of Czechoslovakia are being pushed out, sacrifices must be made to maintain peace between countries. The non-German people are provided no protection for their lives or their properties. Also, only the Germans are allowed to live in Czechoslovakia. Even though only Germans will be occupying Czechoslovakia, I believe that it is just a minor request that the Germans are asking in the return for peace between all the other countries. I believe that the Treaty of Versailles made things worse for the Germans, so this could release the grudge that they have between the rest of Europe. Hopefully, this will appease the Germans so we will never have to go to war again with them and have draw the rest of the world into it too.
