was neville Chamberliand responsible for ww2

Neville Chamberlain has been accused of being directly responsible for the Second World War. Would you agree that he is guilty of this?

 
I think that he is not fully responsible for world war 2. I think this because Hitler did sign some contracts saying that he will not invade anymore countrys if Neville Chamblen gave him these. This was called appeasment Neville Chamblen was constently appeasing Hitler. Hitler thought that Chamblen was to scared to do anything so he kept on taking more countrys. He was going to take Poland but Britain and France said, hold on a minute we have gave you alot of land if you take Poland we will declair war on you. 
 
On the other hand Neville Chamblen was guilty to partly starting the war. This is because he just kept on appesing him he sould of just stop when he frist asked for land.  
chamberlian belived that appeasing hitler was the best way to deal with things at the time but chamberlian knew that appeasing was like feeding a crocadile a piece of meat knowing fine well that you are going to be the last thing it eats.appeasment has never worked and it can only be used in the short term chamberlian knew this but the reason why he kept appeasing hitler was because he was to scared to fight a war.also chamberlian claimed that he had hitlers word that he would not invade anymore countries that turned out to be a lie and chamberlian should of knowing that he could not trust hitler.the fact that chamberlian didn't stand up to hitler may of encouraged hitler to go as this was a sign of weakness
 
in conclusion i think that chamberlain is to blame for the start of the war to some extent because hitler was a man who was going to do what ever he wanted anyway the fact that chamberlian appeased hitler showed weakness on chamberlains behalf and also may of encourged hitler to go on demanding land and taking over countries.appeasement showed that chamberlain was to scared to fight another war and the fact that britians army was weakend by the war did not help matters.on the otherhand chamberlain belived appeasing hitler was in the best intrests of the people they had just fought a war 20 years earlier and many people didnt want to go through another war agian.also britians army was weakend by the war appeasing hitler could prospone the war giving them time to rearm.chamberlain belived that if he kept appeasing hitler he may go away after a while

This is a 'D' grade response. You've focused on the question, but haven't brought in other relevant factors such as Hitler's personality and the Nazi-Soviet Pact!
