The clip outlines the arguments for the policy of appeasement, using original footage and reconstructions to make points about fears of another war and memories of the First World War. It includes Neville Chamberlain's speech about how incredible it was that Britons should be digging trenches because of a 'quarrel in a far away country'. The importance of the British Empire is highlighted, as is the role of the dominions in offering support (or otherwise) to Britain. French reluctance to help and US isolationism are also stated as reasons for not taking decisive action against Hitler, making many see appeasement as a reasonable and pragmatic policy.
