France's Tragic Decline

This article focuses on consequences of the peace treaty, signed at Munich, Germany, in context of French participation and resulting issues. The French Prime Minister, Edouard Daladier, on his return from Munich, made a triumphant entry into Paris, France. But this is supposed not appropriate to the result which France has faced aftermath. The main issue was related to dismembering Czechoslovakia from that meeting. Despite the cheering and flag-waving, in France, which are clearly comprehensible after several days of visualizing imminent air raids on Paris, an undercurrent of uneasiness was discernible in the crowd, especially among the working people. There seemed to be a realization of the consequences of Czechoslovakia's betrayal, the loss of France's allies and prestige in Eastern Europe and its virtual isolation except for the British alliance, which itself has been rendered less secure.
