The Good Neighbor Policy started us on the road to getting along better they did it for trade as well. Ethopia was invaded by Mussolini but they lost pathetically. In 1935 Italy invaded Ethopia the League of Nations declared italy the Aggressor so they put up economic sanctions. But they kept trading them oil. So Italy did take over Ethopia in 1936, May 6th. Hitler saw this and thought of how far he could go before the League of Nations did something. Spain was neutral during WW2. Francisco Franco was a nationalist who was fighting to keep the communists out of the country. Stalin Hitler and Mussolini all supplied the communists but Franco prevailed and won against the communists. He became dictator but he was a good leader. FDR won the 1936 election in a blowout getting a large majority of votes. Japan wanted Manquira they wanted its resources and to use it as a base of operations. They got it and they took over a large piece of china. The chinese and japanese were brutal when fighting each other. We tried hard to stay neutral in the war. The Quarantine Speech by FDR said that the peaceful countries needed to come together and stop the more aggressive countries from spreading. Panay Incident japanese attacked a US ship and killed 2 americans it wasnt a huge incident but it kinda had some harsh feelings against each other. Hitler annexed Austria it wasnt a big deal because hitler was born there and austrians were ethnic germans. And after WW1 they had asked to be part of Germany. They had the Munich conference to talk about Sudetenland because hitler wanted to bring it in to Germany. Hitler got the land and in return he promised not to take anymore land. They didnt take Hitler seriously so Hitler got what he wanted.
