Really, Britain and France? Really?

Though hindsight is hard to let go of when dealing with Hitler, it is still easy to see the injustice shining through the formal words of the Munich conference. Afterall, who ever came up with the idea that it was a good thing to give a volatile country what they want and make it easier for them to start a war?

The Munich Conference was supposed to be a way to maintain peace in Europe, but what it really did was make Europe a more dangerous place to live in. Instead of scolding and punishing Germany for breaking the rules of the Treaty of Versailles, the representatives from Britain and France just gave Hitler what he wanted. Did they learn nothing from World War I? Had they forgotten that those rules and regulations were put in place for a reason? This is what it seemed like. If the agreements made had only affected those that lived in Germany and not the surrounding area, it probably would not have been as bad. But since the agreements centered around the lives of the Czech people, it is impossible to ignore the injustice.

It seems that everyone in involved in World War I forgot that Germany had lost along the way. They also seemed to forget that Hitler and Mussolini had just supported the fascist side in a war they had no part in. Were Britain and France trying to send the message that fascist take overs were ok? I would implore them to show one instant history then that would show that fascism worked well for everyone involved. And speaking of everyone involved, why was there no representative from Czechoslovakia? Again, the representatives did not stop think that maybe, just maybe, this "non-hostile" take over that they had planned wouldn't work. No one stopped to even consider the fact that they were evicting thousands from their homeland just because they weren't German. And it even seemed like it was a bad thing that there were non-German people in a country that wasn't Germany. Huh, what a concept.

And lastly, though we it is already clear that the participants in the conference did not think, there is one thing that still needs to be pointed out. Were the British and French representatives really not aware that they were allowing Hitler to spread his territories when the borderlines of European countries had already been drawn? Really? And really Britain and France, were you completely oblivious to the fact that Hitler had already started building an army, and that you were just letting it happen? Just a few things to think about...
