"Appeasement" gave the western allies complete moral clarity and superiority that resulted in limitless morale to carry out the fight to the finish.

If Germany were attacked in 1938, it's doubtful the war would have went any better for the western allies, and it would have created moral ambiguity. Americans, British and French will fight ceaselessly if they believe it is for a just cause, but their resolve is significantly less if they believe the fight was avoidable in the first place. In order to make a war just, all non-military solutions must be tried before war is resorted to. If Germany were attacked in 1938, you'd have just as many people asking the necessity of it and questioning Hitler's true intentions as you have people shaming "appeasement" today.

What do Jews have to do with Hitler taking the rest of Czechoslovakia and then teaming up with the Soviets to invade Poland you stupid nigger?

>>18687604
None of those things you mentioned were even on the average infantryman's radar you dolt. They were fighting because they had to, not because some sort of moral superiority or a desire to stop le bad goy was driving them.

Sure thing pal. That's why they had the same morale in wars following WWII with moral ambiguity. Oh wait, except they didn't, their resolve was significantly weaker because the stakes were less clear even if they didn't consciously acknowledge you dumb faggot.

It's not a choice of war or appeasement. It's a choice of helping the Nazis do what they're doing, or not helping them.

Declaring war on the Nazis in 1939 was stupid, with or without appeasement.

Well, yeah, no shit. I wonder why Frenchmen or Czechs weren't German Nationalists in favor of pushing for German nationalist interests???

Still ranting at your strawman? Have fun.

Just don't help the nazi types... again.
