Britain at the Brink: Lord Halifax’ Peace Proposal (May 1940)

About the committee

Dark storm clouds gather over Europe, the old world is once more tearing itself apart. Germany is on the march, cutting deep into allied territory and threatening to cut off the retreat of our forces from the sea at Dunkirk. In the air our forces are fighting hard, but seeing no greater success. Our allies the French are in a shaken state, a sense of defeatism is in the air in that old and powerful nation. We must make a choice for the safety of our Empire: Retreat and give in to fend off a potential invasion? Or continue to fight for the freedom of our brothers and sisters at home and abroad? Churchill’s War Council must now meet and decide on the future of our efforts in Europe and beyond, with troubling news from France and Lord Halifax pushing for a peace proposal this may yet be the most important decision in the history of the British Empire.
