Saturday, October 14, 1933

Got flowers for Mr. Raifert. Went over to Sears Roebuck Co. Went to funeral and cemetery. Ollie was there.

Anachronous world map in 1920–1945, showing the League of Nations and the world.

The League of Nations came into being after the end of World War One. Its task was 
simple - to ensure that war never broke out again. The League of Nations was based in Geneva,
Switzerland, a neutral country that had not fought in World War One. Its sole purpose
was to maintain world peace  and to sort out international disputes as and when they occurred.

On October 14, 1933, Germany withdrew from the League of Nations as did Japan and Italy.
