Neville Chamberlain was the Prime Minister of England from 1937-1940. Chamberlain is infamous for 'appeasing' to Germany's demands to restructure itself after paying its immense reparations for the first World War I. A large reason that he appeased to Germany's desire to revamp its military, economy, and expand its territory was so that he may focus on England's domestic affairs. Notably, he passed several acts and laws for the middle class, one giving workers a week off with pay (Holiday with Pay Act 1938), as well as passing the Factory's Act of 1937 which greatly helped working conditions for women and children and limiting hours of work. While he primarily wanted to focus on domestic affairs, his appeasement policy immensely backfired when Germany's power skyrocketed by the end of the 1930's.
