Before becoming Prime minister of UK, Neville Chamberlain's other office had been as Lord Mayor of Manchester , Churchill later said of him "Well he was a decent fellow , But I am afraid he viewed the world through the wrong end of a municipal drain pipe "

Churchill was a hack. He got sacked from the Admiralty in WWI for the disasterous Dardenelles campaign, then made the same mistake in Greece in WWII. Also screwed up in Norway and N Africa. Other than the Battle of Britain, he had no lasting tactical success until after we joined the war and bailed him out. Just two months after Germany fell, the Brits replaced him with Attlee in a landslide.

FDR made his decisions based on US polls. In 1940 he ran for 3rd term saying he'd stay out of war because polls showed that was the majority opinion. He didn't embargo oil to Japan fully until Jul41 when, after Tokyo invaded French Indochina, polls showed more than 50% in favor of war for the first time. Even then he waited, buying time while we re-armed & forcing the Axis to strike first, which was the proper thing to do. German sinking of Reuben James wasn't enough, of course, but Pearl was.

polls....lol. Wilson ran on "He Kept us at of war" a few months later Troops were fighting in France.

Axis strike first the Japs attacked a U.S war ship in 1938 but at least they said sorry and payed for the damage.

and for Indochina the japs walked in.

Except for his policy to appease Hitler, Chamberlin did a decent job for Britain, especially modernizing her industries in the middle of the Depression so that when war came Britain had the latest technology in their plants. Most of the criticism for appeasing Hitler came after Hitler violated the agreement, and Nev was adamantly clear that any move on Poland meant war. His resignation probably had more to do with his poor health. Cancer killed him a few months later.
