70 years since the Munich agreement

On September 30, 1938, Neville Chamberlain proclaimed "peace in our time".The British prime minister had just signed an agreement that was supposed to prevent a war. The agreement permitted Germany to annex the Sudetenland from Czechoslovakia. However, the agreement, signed in Munich, could not prevent the war, as we know today.
