Britain was not obliged to Czechoslovakia at all. France was. France had signed a treaty with Czechoslovakia in 1924. But Britain had not. So there was no obligation at all for Britain to do this. The only reason why Britain would go to war over Czechoslovakia is because of the threat of Nazism and the ramifications of not going to war with him.

But the problem is that Chamberlain is interesting because in 1935, he was Chancellor of Czechoslovakia. And when they started to sort of think, okay, we really do need to rearm, he was very much in favor of... substantially expanding and rehabilitating the Navy, so updating existing battleships and so on, and also developing the Air Force.

There's not really much argument for having a large army because if you have a large army, you've got to maintain it. Britain is a small place. Where do you put them? You've also got to transport them. That's complicated. You've got to train them. You've got to put them in barracks. You've got to feed them, all this kind of stuff.
