NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN
1869 - 1940

Arthur Neville Chamberlain was the British prime minister from May 28, 1937 - May 10, 1940, when he resign because of ill health.

Chamberlain is best known for his policy of appeasement toward Italy and Germany right before World War II.

Not all of Chamberlain's countrymen agreed with this course of action. Winston Churchill for one thought that this was not the right time to pussyfoot around.
