Correct response: Who is Neville Chamberlain?
More information about Final Jeopardy:
Originally broadcasted on the BBC on September 27, 1938,, the quote of then-British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain was referring to Adolf Hitler’s annexation of the Sudetenland, having failed to convince the Nazis against the annexation of the Czech territory. Three days after this speech, Hitler and Chamberlain signed the Munich Agreement providing for a peaceful resolution, leading to Chamberlain’s more famous “peace in our time” speech. This agreement only managed to hold off the start of World War II for less than a year.
Needless to say, historians today have roundly criticized Chamberlain and the British for allowing fascism to get too strong.

Another “foreign” FJ! I don’t think we will have many right but I believe FDR will show up…..
Hitler really played NC for a fool. The latter was one of the worst and most gullible politicians in the 20th century. Winston and FDR had the consequences to bear……
FDR? I think these contestants are smart enough to know he wasn’t a European leader. 🙂
I wouldn’t bet the farm on it….players have overlooked more obvious clues in the past. Maybe de Gaulle then??
Plus, to see NC’s shortsightedness: “faraway country”???
Is England THAT faraway a country from the Sudetenland and Germany? He couldn’t see the forest for the trees.
A huge blemish on/in England’s history and I am a huge Anglophile. Thank goodness that WC and FDR were there at the right time (almost too late ), certainly things would have gone very differently had Winston been in charge 10 years earlier.
I first thought of Neville’s nemesis, the great Winston Churchill.
That was my guess too.
Very disappointed episode. 3 wrong answers on the daily double resulted our seventh skunking of the season. Let’s hope tomorrow’s episode will be better.
And they were all 3 rather easy, even the “walking around the earth”. The distance and “minus the water…”. The Tiber flows through Rome, but you would need to know who and where Hadrian was and that the bridge’s name is Eyetalian…. (NOT a in the U.S. clue though…) The anaconda was too much of a struggle, literally it seems..😉
Hopefully we can nail one tomorrow.
A good game or an anaconda?😉
A Daily Double?
