In 1938, Hitler blinks at Munich as British Foreign Minister Anthony Eden pulled off a dramatic coup. Privately, the Fuhrer believed events might have been very different if Italian Prime Minister Benito Amilcare Andrea Mussolini had not been assassinated by the anarchist Gino Lucetti in 1926. As it was, he faced the combined Stresa front of Britain, France and Italy and was forced to climb down over the Sudeten Germans. Robbed of a regional partner, and forced to wait until 1942, when Nazi Germany was on a full war footing, Hitler no longer had anything to fear and struck the allies with Blitzkrieg across both the Brenner Pass and the Belgium border. By the time America entered the war, Hitler had the bomb, and the rest is history. Following the death of Chamberlain, Eden had entered Downing Street, and he often wondered, if things might not have been better to have forced the issue at Munich. It was an issue that kept him awake for many, many nights at Governor's residence at Rideau Hall, Ottawa where he and the British Government in Exile then resided.
