Neville Chamberlain is most famous internationally for serving as the British Prime Minister who championed the controversial policy of appeasement toward Nazi Germany during the late 1930s. His leadership culminated in the signing of the Munich Agreement in September 1938, where he conceded the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Adolf Hitler in exchange for a signed declaration promising peace in Europe. When Germany broke those promises and invaded Poland in September 1939, plunging the continent into total war, Chamberlain's diplomatic strategy became a historic symbol of failed foreign policy, forever linking his legacy with the prelude to World War II.
