The years from 1934 to 1937 were a time during which the British
Empire was confronted with the emergence of the triple threat of
Nazi Germany, Imperial Japan, and Fascist Italy. The goal of
British policy was easily defined: the protection and promotion of
Britain's vast interests. While Neville Chamberlain and Sir Robert
Vansittart agreed on the goal, they disagreed on the means to
achieve it. Their disagreement stemmed partly from their different
understandings of the nature of the Third Reich; Vansittart
understood better than Chamberlain the implications of Hitler's
Weltanschauung. But their different strategies also reflected the
fact that Chamberlain did not share Vansittart's belief in the
necessity of pursuing alliance diplomacy to protect the world-wide
security and interests of the British Empire. While the prime
minister realized that Britain's problems were global in scope, he
thought Britain could solve each problem on a bilateral basis. In
other words, Britain should approach Germany, Japan, and Italy
directly to settle outstanding disputes. Vansittart did not
believe, however, that Britain's problems could be solved on a
bilateral basis, for the interdependence of events in every region
of the globe militated against bilateral solutions.
