It [the Munich Agreement<nowiki>]</nowiki> was a triumph for all that was best and most enlightened in British life; a triumph for those who had preached equal justice between peoples; a triumph for those who had courageously denounced the harshness and short-sightedness of Versailles.

This was the offence redressed at Munich.
