After Hitler rejected British and French
concessions to give Germany parts of the
Sudetenland, the British people began to prepare
for war. Bomb drills were held and people began
to dig trenches. The following text is an excerpt
from a speech given by Neville Chamberlain that
was broadcast on British radio on September 27,
1938
O War is terrible and should only be entered into with
clear justification
O War is a necessary evil that often results in a
lasting peace
O War is scary, but it is the only way to stop
aggressive nations
O War should only be undertaken when a country can
be assured of victory
