Neville Chamberlain became Prime Minister of the United Kingdom on 28 May 1937, succeeding Stanley Baldwin. He is best remembered for his policy of appeasement towards Adolf Hitler in the years leading up to the Second World War, including the 1938 Munich Agreement. Historians continue to debate whether Chamberlain’s diplomatic approach delayed conflict or emboldened Nazi Germany, making his premiership a lasting subject of political and historical discussion.
