- W2162089621 abstract "Historians still differ on the meaning of the British guarantee to Poland of March 31, 1939, and on the policy that flowed from it. Basically, opinion differs on whether the guarantee marked the end of appeasement?as symbol ized by the Munich agreement of September 29, 1938?or whether it was a continuation of this policy. In the period 1945-61, Western historians condemned Munich and saw the British guarantee as the beginning of a new policy of standing up to Hitler. However, A.J.P. Taylor challenged this view in 1961, claiming that the guar antee was, in fact, a continuation of appeasement since it envisaged further territorial revision in Eastern Europe. He believed this policy was justified by the goal of saving peace.1 In 1969-70, the opening of British archives for the years 1938-39 (under the new 30-year rule), led Western historians to sympathize with British policy-makers, who had to work under specific eco nomic, domestic, and strategic constraints. Therefore, since 1970, Western publications have generally agreed that until March 1939, Britain had no alter native to appeasement.2 Moreover, some historians who interpreted appease ment in the classical sense of settling disputes by negotiation, discovered it to be a traditional British policy pursued since the mid-nineteenth century and dictated by such factors as: Britain's global commitments, i.e., her Empire, by the need for peace to carry on trade, by domestic economic pressures, and finally by a public opinion opposed to war. In this framework, Munich is seen as the last manifestation of a traditional policy, which then broke down. An other variation on the theme is to see British policy in 1939 as aiming to secure" @default.
