Unfortunately, history has not been kind to Chamberlain, as Churchill made sure he took all of the credit, and chamberlain was portrayed the way he generally is, but the delay in starting the war and subsequent rearmament are arguably more important than anything Churchill did.
This is correct

For some reason Chamberlain is always used as an example when terrorist attacks happen which shows that the people talking about how we're "appeasing terrorists" have no idea what they're on about, and are basing their argument off of assumptions
