Chamberlain believed Hitler when the latter vowed that restoring their beloved homeland to the mistreated Sudetendeutsche was his last territorial demand. The Prime Minister treated Czechoslovakia, a “faraway country,” only as the “Czech problem” on his desk and not as a land inhabited by real people. Churchill adopted a different attitude; he had studied Adolf Hitler’s career with intensity and was aware of the history of broken promises and “last territorial claims” including the [[Versailles Treaty]], the [[Causes_of_World_War_II#Munich_1938|Locarno Pact]], the [[Rhineland]], and [[Anschluss|Austria]].

After the Four-Power Meeting began in [[Bavaria]], the Focus group was supposed to meet and draft and sign a telegram to the British Prime Minister adjuring him to make no further concessions at the expense of Czechoslovakia and warning him that if he did so he would have to fight the House of Commons on his return. Regrettably, one by one, the group drifted away. Some who had said they would come had not and finally declined to permit the use of their names, while others made excuses of lacking the approval from their parties. They refused to put their names to their principles. Churchill commented: ''"What are they made of? The day is not far off when it won’t be signatures we’ll have to give but lives—the lives of millions. Can we survive?  Do we deserve to when there is no courage anywhere?"'', and Nicolson wrote in his diary: they ''"sat there gloomily realizing that nothing could be done….
