21. 'sent to Hitler a message of weakness, not strength.' Was that actually a bad thing in the end though really?

I mean by making them look weak it might very well have prevented Hitler from hitting England first has Hitler could have thought he could take it later easily. Had Hitler been able to subdue England early in the war though Germany could have used it as a major base from which to blockcade the rest of Europe. Granted that probably wasn't Chamberlain's intent but it could have had that inadvertent effect.
