I agree. The background dealing with Mussolini and the Italians' political situation throughout this period helps explain a lot of what happened at Munich.

@shad0w1599 Considering 1) how they facilitated the war by siding with Austria instead of trying to broker a peace, 2), ravaged the French countryside to the point of cutting down all the fruit trees, killing all the livestock they couldn't take with them and flooding coal mines out of spite in 1918, and 3) continued to make a vital condition of peace that Germany annex Belgium right up to a couple of weeks before the Armistice, I can see why. Bulgaria, Austria and the Ottomans all recognized the inevitable and didn't set out to punish their opponents in the last weeks of the war. The Germans continued their destructive policies right up to November 11.

About your comment that people in Britain were enthused with Chamberlain's signing of the Munich Accord is not entirely accurate. My parents, who were British, both said that many people in Britain were upset and concerned, and felt it had only postponed war. I suspect that it is rather like a political rally - you get all the party supporters out to show how much the people are behind you even when you have support of perhaps 40% of the population.

Chamberlain had only one job ...

@dejjal8683 I suspect it was because he was considered the most palatable choice by the "old boys network" in charge of the party, and the this decision was accepted by most of the rank and file (I suspect Churchill probably disagreed, but this would be no surprise because he was looking to fill the spot himself).

@jussim.konttinen4981 It would be more correct to say that Austrian and German Jews fought for the Central Powers, while Russian, British and French Jews fought for the Allies. In other words, they fought for their respective countries. It is also worth mentioning that, if David Irving is to be believed, it is possible that when Hitler travelled from Vienna to Munich around 1913 his travelling companion may have been Jewish.

@robertreynolds580 He is one reason that proves the veracity of D&D separating the stats Intelligence and Wisdom. Mussolini probably had an intelligence of 14-16, but a wisdom around 5-7.
