"In 1938, we were where we were."
But surely that is the point - we needn't have been where we were
It wasn't as if Germany didn't have a track record
WW1 decimated a generation - it was to be 'the war to end all wars'
a little over a decade since the end ot the war an extremist Party took control of Germany - the allies who declared Germany should not rearm did nothing to stop those people from turning their country into a world threat again
There is no evidence that Chamberlain prepared for war with Germany - sm sources say "he must have known..." - if that is the case, he was lying to the British people when he said "peace in our time"
not only did Britain do nothing to stop the rise of fascism, the leaders colluded to prevent opposition to its rise in Spain
Many of the British establishment welcomed fascism with open arms.
Sorry Dave, I do not believe your argument has legs to stand on
History will condemn the first half of the twentieth century - and we are not doing too well REPUTATION-WISE since
