Although the United Kingdom and France also announced various conditions Germany had agreed to, to address the doubts and confusion of the people, such statements obviously couldn't deceive Arthur.
France had made concessions, and this was an indisputable fact.
Perhaps this was France's sole opportunity to crush Hitler's fantasies without resorting to war.
After all, the German military was restricted to 150,000, and though Italy's army seemed larger, it was not particularly strong in combat.
Even if war had broken out, with no interference from other countries, nearly 500,000 French troops could easily break through Germany's defenses, especially since the German army lacked heavy weaponry on a large scale.
But there was nothing to be done. Although France was a victorious nation of World War I, the damage inflicted on France by the war had instilled a fear of such conflict in the French people.
