JAPANESE MILITARISTS ATTACK CHINA
98. The West was occupied with "economic woes", so the Japanese took advantage of this and preoccupied themeselves with taking Manchuria. They hoped to close the Open Door policy shut. The international reaction was one of shock of the spontaneous violence after Japan had joined the League of Nations and signed other peaceful pacts. Many Americans decided to boycott Japaneses products and advocated for a blockade by the League supported by the U.S. The League had their hands tied, so the U.S. enacted the Stimson Doctrine in 1932. It stated that the U.S. would not recognize any territorial gains achieved through unjustified force.
99. It can be argued that WWII actually commenced in 1931 by the lack of security that came for the League's fear of using its economic and naval power to stop the Japanese.
HOOVER PIONEERS THE GOOD NEIGHBOR POLICY
100. Hoover strobe to abandon T.R's take on the Monroe Doctrine, because he was a ture humanitarian. When he saw the affects of the U.S's depression on those under the Rio Grande he saw there was a need for some changes. He made a pact with Haiti in 1932 to ensure the extrication of American troops by 1934. In 1933, the last of the American soldiers in Nicaragua left, after 20 years of occupation.
And THAT is how the job should be finished :)
