"Events spiralled out of Chamberlain's control so fast that the Nobel committee in Oslo were never able to offer him their peace prize -- although they had already given it to his half-brother, Sir Austen, for his work on the Locarno treaties; including the one Hitler casually abrogated when he remilitarized the Rhineland in 1936.

Beliving in paper, not acts. Must of been a family trait.

Actually, the Locarno treaties worked very well, and for a long time too, principally because they were signed when Germany was under decent leadership (Gustav Streseman) as opposed to the psychotic Bavarian corporal.
