Italy, it is true, had invaded Ethiopia, Germany had remilitarized the Rhineland, the Spanish Civil War had begun, and in the short space of a month Japan was to invade China. But the greatest empire of them all, the British Empire, given new unity by the newly-crowned King George VI, was still at peace with the world, and in Geneva the League of Nations was working to preserve that peace. At home in the United States we were still engrossed in our own peaceful and isolated prob- lems of social security, Pan-Americanism, labor, education, and safe driving. During the next year we paid little heed to the rumblings of Europe ' s fast-growing war machines. We had our own peculiar national sorrows . . . the last flight of Amelia Earhart . . . and we had our own peculiar na- tional entertainments . . . the World ' s Fair. . . . All the while rumblings from Europe were growing stronger and stronger- like mutterings of an approaching thunderstorm.
