Seen in retrospective it clearly was not

Explanation:

Lord Halifax was one of the architects of the policy of appeasement of Adolf Hitler in 1936 to 1938, in which he worked closely with P. M. Neville Chamberlain. However, after the German occupation of Czechoslovakia in March 1939 he was in favor of a new policy to stop further German agression.

Unfortunately Chamberlain maintained his appeasement policy which proved to strenghten Hitler's belief that he could continue his agressive ¨Lebensraum¨ ideology. Moreover it was a slap in the face for the Czech people.
