Did Chamberlain seek peace or time to rearm?

Is it fairer to say Chamberlain hoped to delay war for rearmament rather than prevent it?

He likely hoped to do both: avoid war in the short term while postponing any confrontation until Britain was better prepared, perhaps around 1945.

A viewer asks whether Chamberlain's purpose was to postpone war long enough for rearmament rather than to prevent it altogether. Chamberlain likely hoped to avoid a conflict in the short term and defer any unavoidable showdown until about 1945. That interpretation grants strategic value to delay without erasing the depth of his belief in negotiation. The exchange also contrasts Chamberlain with Halifax, whose reluctance to decide made him a poor wartime alternative in this assessment.
