In September 1931, at... «Spain and the Great Powers in the Twentieth Century»
telans10 сентября 2013In September 1931, at almost the same time that Lerroux made a flamboyant presentation of the principles of the Republic*s foreign policy in the Geneva forum, Japanese aggression began in Manchuria. The conference on disarmament began its sessions five months later. These would be the two great tests to which the League of Nations would be put, and they would also constitute the first great challenges that the new Republican diplomatic corps would have to face.
As far as the conflict in the Far East was concerned, the Spanish position constituted a sound defence of the Leagues principles, led principally by the man who would be the Spanish representative in Geneva during the greatest part of the Republican period, Salvador de Madariaga. ...he soon began to be known as "Don Quijote de la Manchuria".
