On 3 September, Chamberlain announced Britain's declaration of war in a speech broadcast on the radio. Look carefully at Chamberlain's radio speech, and then answer the following questions in full sentence/paragraph format. 1. Why do you think Britain declared war in defence of Poland when it had done nothing to protect Czechoslovakia? 2. How did Chamberlain use the speech to justify the policies he had adopted in response to Hitler's aggression? 3. What reasons did Chamberlain give to justify Britain's declaration of war against Germany? The 3 September Radio Broadcast by Chamberlin: You can imagine what a bitter blow it is to me that my long struggle to win peace has failed. Yet I cannot believe that there is anything more or anything different that I could have done that would have been more successful. Up to the very last it would have been quite possible to have arranged a peaceful and honourable settlement between Germany and Poland, but Hitler would not have it. He had evidently made up his mind to attack Poland whatever happened. His action shows convincingly that there is no chance of expecting that this man will ever give up his practice of using force to gain his will. The situation in which no word given by Germany's ruler could be trusted has become intolerable. He can only be stopped by force. Posted Sun Feb 12, 2023 at 9:30 am
