Meanwhile, he's pretty embarrassed of this meeting he was so proud of

Arthur Neville Chamberlain (* March 18th in 1869) is a British politician of the Conservative Party who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from May 1937 to May 1940. He is best known for his foreign policy of appeasement, in particular his signing of the Munich Agreement on September 30th in 1938, ceding the German-speaking Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia to Nazi Germany. Following the beginning of the Second World War, he had to resign as prime minister on May 10th in 1940, leaving the office to Winston Churchill, for the failure to prevent the invasion of Norway by Nazi Germany. Because of his... not very glorious government he even declined usual honors for retiring PMs, like an Earldom and appointment as a Knight of the Garter. He did keep the office of Lord President of the Council in the Cabinet Winston Churchill, though.

In 1910, he married Anne Cole (* 1883). They have a Son and a daughter.
