"This cartoon by the British cartoonist Sidney 'George' Strube appeared in the Daily Express on 3 October 1938. Chamberlain (on the right, with nothing but a hat and umbrella), confronts Mars (the God of War)."

Candela Zufriategui and Camila Carnemolla This source is from a british view. Churchil is shown standing against the war, always supporting the policy of appeasement.

It is a primary source because it was published on 3 October 1938 in the Daily Express. In this one Chamberlain is confronting Mars, who is the God of War for the ancient Roman religion. The sources´s message is that Chamberlain wanted to avoid war. He followed the policy of Appeasment in order to not make his country enter in another war. He was keen on not suffering such a devastation, as the one sufferend in the WW1, again. The perspective is from the British because it shows a very positive image of Chamberlain. It shows him as a hero.
