'''Neville Chamberlain''' (March 18, 1869 - November 9, 1940) was the [[Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland]] from May 27, 1937 to May 10, 1940. Chamberlain belonged to (and was the chairperson of) the [[Conservative and Unionist Party|Conservative Party]]. Chamberlain, together with France's [[Edouard Daladier]], signed the [[Munich Pact]] with [[Germany]]. This allowed Germany to annex the [[Sudetenland]] in exchange for a promise of peace. Chamberlain received a hero's welcome upon his return to Great Britain, declaring that the pact had provided  "peace in our time." He also immediately took steps to bring the British armed forces into a state of readiness for war. Hitler looked upon Chamberlain as an extremely wily character, and felt that he had been cheated out of war.
