Why did Winston Churchill oppose Neville Chamberlain?

Winston
Churchill opposed Neville Chamberlain mainly because of the events leading to the start ofand
how the Allies were doing when World War II began. When Germany was taking land in Europe,
Neville Chamberlain did little to stop this from happening. When Hitler wanted to annex the
Sudetenland, Chamberlain and the leader of France, Edouard Daladier, met with Hitler and with
Mussolini and signed the Munich Pact. This agreement allowed Hitler to annex the Sudetenland.
These leaders tried to appease Hitler by giving into his demands, hoping that by doing so, it
would stop Germanys aggression. Chamberlain believed he had preserved peace by making this
agreement. Winston Churchill was against this agreement as he didn't believe the policy of
appeasement would be successful. When Hitler took over the rest of Czechoslovakia in 1939, it
proved the policy of appeasement had failed.

Once World War II began after
Germanys invasion of Poland in 1939, the Allies did very poorly. In 1940, Germany rolled through
Norway and Denmark. Then, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands fell into German hands. At
this point, Chamberlain lost a vote of confidence in the House of Commons. Winston Churchill
became Prime Minister. He was known for his military background. He vowed that Britain would
work hard to defeat Germany. He also laid out the British plans to resist Germany. When Germany
tried to attack Great Britain, Winston Churchill said that Great Britain would never
surrender.
