Source 30 People of Britain, your children are safe.

Your husbands and your sons will not march to war. Peace is a victory for all mankind. If we must have a victor, let us choose Chamberlain, for the Prime Ministers conquests are mighty an enduring- millions of happy homes and hearts relieved of their burden. The Daily Express comments on the Munich Agreement, 30 September 1938 This source supports the Munich agreement. It uses mainly positive diction; safe, victory, happy, relieved of their burden. It talks about how Chamberlain is a sort of saviour and his conquest to achieve peace.

Source 31 We regard the Agreement signed last night.as symbolic of the desire of our two peoples never to go to war with one another again. We are resolved that we shall use consultation to deal with any other questions that may concern our two countries, and we are determined to continue our efforts to assure the peace of Europe. The joint declaration of Chamberlain and Hitler, 30 September 1938. I say that this also supports the Munich agreement. It says that they will never go to war with each other and that they are going to do all they can to keep the peace. Source 32 A

I would say that this cartoon does not support the Munich agreement. The atmosphere is negative due to the Nazi skeleton soldier. It shows that the Nazis were standing in the way of the Czechs and European and British domination. The Munich agreement is not illustrated in this cartoon and because the atmosphere is mainly negative I say that it does not support it.

I would say that this cartoon supports the Munich agreement, because in this picture the Munich agreement is not illustrated, and therefore I interpreted it as if it works as a support for the failing plank.

Source 33 By repeatedly surrendering to force, Chamberlain has encouraged aggression..our central contention, therefore, is that Mr Chamberlains policy has throughout been based on a fatal misunderstanding of the physcology of dictatorship. The Yorkshire Post, December 1938. I would say that this source does not support the Munich agreement as it criticizes Chamberlain and his actions. It sais that it was based on Hitlers lies and that Chamberlain was wrong to have trusted him. Source 34 We have suffered total defeat..I think you will find that in a period of time Czechoslovakia will be engulfed in the Nazi regime. We have passed an aweful milestone in our history. This is the beginning of the reckoning. Winston Churchill speaking in October 1938. He felt that Britain should resist the demands of Hitler. However, he was an isolated figure in the 1930s.

This source does not support the Munich agreement; I say this because of the use of negative diction such as defeat, engulfed and awful. It also says that they have suffered total defeat, and that they have passed an awful milestone in their history, considering the circumstances and what had recently happened at the time, it is safe to say that the Munich agreement definitively was one of the causes.

I think that this cartoon does not support the Munich agreement, it shows a man sleeping and above him there are many big stones (representing different countries) about to fall, or in a position where they would fall due to a small disturbance. I think this represents that WW2 was very likely to happen and even just a small disturbance would start it. Therefore when WW2 starts all the stones (or countries) will fall onto an unsuspecting man. I think that this man represents Chamberlain and to some extent the whole of Britain because they though they had the situation under control, but in reality they were unaware of the bigger picture.

I would say that this newspaper article supports the Munich agreement, it says that everyone thought that this Sunday would be the first day in a bloody war and that Chamberlain was a hero and he was stood between Britain and war. It says that Chamberlain was determined to keep peace, therefore I can say that it regards Chamberlain and his action as positive and that it does support the Munich agreement.
