Or that they couldn't have refused to sacrifice Czechoslavakia by simply stationing a few thousand troops there in '38 to serve as a "trip-wire"???
Chamberlain was a fool. He was an appeaser of the first order, and he should have met the same fate as Petain.

Well better to be a fool that tried than one that didn't. By the way, what year did the U.S, the victors of WWII, jump into the war,...'41 was it, and late '41 at that.
Speculate and theorize all you want. It's moot. At least England, France and Canada weren't sitting on the sidelines when push came to shove.
