Answer: "I believe peace is for our time."

Explanation:

With this sentence, Chamberlain sought to appease his citizens from the windows of his residence. After meeting with Hitler, attended by diplomatic representatives of France and Italy, the prime minister was quite optimistic. However, it soon turned out he was wrong because German planes would hover over British skies. Some historians think that Chamberlain was gullible concerning Hitler's wills. On the other hand, Churchill was continually warning of the threat from Germany. The preceding sentence can be seen as a wish of the British Prime Minister, but the reality turned out to be different. After Churchill's doubts became clear, Chamberlain resigned, and Winston Churchill led the country during the war.

How would you have responded to the rising Cold War tension?

katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

This is entirely opinionated, but I'll remind you how much tension the Cold War brought. You can answer it either as a citizen or a world leader, I think.

Explanation:

The Cold War brought fear into practically everyone. Everyone was second guessing their friends, families, neighbors, even bosses to being Communist spies. The fear of someone, even in the government, being a spy wreaked havoc in society. Television began broadcasting commercials of what to do if your neighbor is a spy, there were advertisements in the paper, you couldn't go anywhere without being reminded of the Cold War. No Russian was trusted at this time. Not to mention there was the fear of a nuclear attack. There were fallout shelters made in people's homes, schools, and community gathering places. Cartoons were made for children to teach them what they should do if a nuclear warhead were to hit. It was basically Hell.
