British opposition to the policy of appeasement 
‘British opposition to the policy of appeasing Germany increased between 1937 and 1939.’ To what extent do you agree with this opinion?
British Opposition to the policy of appeasing Germany increased significantly post 1937. The sources as a whole establish an increase Public Opinion against the Appeasement of Germany although during different time periods and events.
Source one concentrates on the effect of the Spanish Civil War and how the left becoming ‘war minded’ took affect on Britain. Source two and three look at the shift in public opinion but have differences in terms of the shift. Source two represents it as Hitler’s occupation of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 where as source 3 states it was instead the Munich Agreement. It can be evaluated that some members of the British Public and Government were still ‘reluctant’ to go into war.
Firstly when looking at the growing support seen through Mowat recall ‘an underground explosion of public opinion’ and also Reynolds adaption ‘helped to bring a united country into war’ it is illustrated how public opinion against appeasement was increasing, reinforced as 86% of people doubted that the Sudetenland would be Hitler’s last territorial demand. Only half of the Public supported the Munich Agreement, which was supposedly meant to encourage peace ‘tragically ironic that Europe was spared war in September 1938’ Reynolds view that the British were capable of war in 1938 suggests further that the realisation of this in many cases such as ‘the left became war-minded’ that opposition to the policy of appeasing Germany increased quite significantly between 1937 to 1939.
When looking at Mowats account of British opposition it appears he concentrates on the attitude of the left ‘”no war”, became the slogan, not of the left’ his account differs to that of Taylor or Reynolds as he puts the growing opposition down to the Spanish Civil War ‘tremendous importance in British history’
