I heard this claim somewhere that the reason why Neville Chamberlain agreed to it was because UK was nowhere close to being ready for war. Something along the lines of having been instructed to secure peace at all cost.

In retrospect it's easy to see the Munic Agreement as a mistake, but I have to admit that I am curious if he had any real alternative.

The UK was nowhere close to being ready for war, but in truth, neither was Germany. Chamberlain made his decision with noble intentions, but in retrospect, even just strategically, it was still the wrong decision.

They learned the wrong lessons for this war from the previous one.
