Britain should have negotiated with Hitler during the Battle of Britain & had a nice chat with him. There wouldn’t have been a German invasion etc & we could have cracked on as normal.

Am I doing it right?
Maybe rather that post rubbish look at what real historians think of how beneficial it was for the RAF while Chamberlain to played for time?

The 1938 Munich Agreement was central to the “guilty men” charge sheet against Chamberlain. That is understandable. But apart from the cold reality that there was little public appetite for conflict at the time of Munich, Chamberlain understood that Britain’s aerial defences were still too weak for war. Just before he left Heston airport on 29 September, he received a letter from Sir Charles Bruce-Gardener, the chairman of the Society of British Aircraft Constructors, who privately warned that “if war was declared, the equipment available for the RAF, both in types and numbers, was far below that of the German air force”.

Munich undoubtedly bought Britain time for the RAF to modernise dramatically over the next two years. In autumn 1938 Fighter Command had just 25 squadrons, mostly made up of obsolete biplanes. By the eve of the Battle of Britain, there were 58, most of them Spitfires and Hurricanes. Denis Webb, a manager at the Supermarine company that built the Spitfire, wrote, “Chamberlain’s despised scrap of paper gave us a good return”.
 
Yeh sure 🥱 Call of Duty was it?

This type of post warms my heart as it further exposes your pathetic character to people on here.

I'm ex forces as are many on here. Ever thought of joining up yourself?

As I asked before and you slithered away from answering, as an Irish person what would have been your thoughts during the Irish Famine and British occupation?

Would you cower to the King and denigrate any Irish resistance? I'll commend your cowardly consistency if so.
