		The younger son of Joseph Chamberlain, Arthur Neville Chamberlain was born in Birmingham, England, on March 18, 1869.
		Chamberlain was by temperament a businessman and a civil servant before he was a politician; although he did much to extend welfare services between the wars, his contribution was that of rationalization and was not based on a desire to change quickly and radically the existing qualities of social life.
		Chamberlain's willingness to negotiate with Hitler was thus more than a result of a sense of military weakness and a refusal to regard the German minority in Czechoslovakia as worth fighting over--although these considerations were present.

		The following morning, Chamberlain presented to Hitler an additional treaty which, to paraphrase it, demonstrated "the desire of the peoples of both our countries never to go to war again." Then Chamberlain flew back to London, and when he arrived was granted a tremendous reception.
		Ever since then, Munich has been characterized as England's greatest embarrassment, Chamberlain has been characterized as a wimp with an umbrella, and any attempt to "sooth or to pacify," which is the original meaning of Appeasement, has been tainted with the stigma of Munich.
