The Edge Of War – Munich
“Munich – The Edge Of War” is a story of the Allies’ attempt to stop Hitler’s rise to power. Churchill rightly recognizes that this would be a terrible idea and tries his best to avoid it. But others in England like Chamberlain want nothing more than for war with Germany. Because they believe that it will help them recover from their depression. This story is important because it gives us a look at the events leading up to World War II. Chamberlain’s desire for war was foolish and led to the deaths of millions of people. But Churchill’s efforts to avoid it may have saved even more lives. It’s a reminder that sometimes peace is better than war.
What led to world war ii ?
Munich was a turning point which lead up to world war ii. at this point, it was clear that Germany was going to take over Austria. chamberlain, who wanted war with Germany, presented Hitler with a proposal for peace. Hitler agreed to the proposal, and the two men signed the Munich Pact. This gave Germany control over Austria and allowed them to take the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia in exchange for their promise that they would not invade any other country.
