Complete SOAPSTone • Restate the question • Provide evidence from the text • Document #5 In this speech to Parliament, British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain explains why he favored a policy of appeasement in dealing with Hitler . “With a little good will and determination, it is possible to remove grievances and clear away suspicion… We must try to bring these four nations into friendly discussion. If they can settle their differences, we shall save the peace of Europe for a generation.” “And, in The Times (London): I shall not give up the hope of a peaceful solution. We sympathize with a small nation faced by a big and powerful neighbor. But we cannot involve the whole British Empire in war simply on her account. If we have to fight, it must be on larger issues than that… I am a man of peace… Yet if I were sure that any nation had made up its mind to dominate the world by fear of its force, I should feel that it must be resisted… But war is a fearful thing.” (Noonan 117) Assignment
