Peace for our time
The phrase "Peace for our time" was spoken in 1938 by Neville Chamberlain in his speech given in the defense of the Munich Agreement.
It is primarily remembered for its ironic value. The Munich Agreement gave the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia to Hitler in an attempt to satisfy his desire for Lebensraum or territory for Germany.
Less than two years after the agreement, Europe was plunged into World War II.
Peace In Our Time (note capitalization) is also the title of Big Country's fourth studio album.
