This Day in History: The Invasion of Poland, September 1, 1939
We're dealing with international history in the first few weeks of my World Politics course (theory too, but the history's also a foundation for the class). And I thought about September 1st today, while discussing the German challenge to international security, 1919-1939. In any case, there's a report at Digital Journal, "Ceremonies Mark Invasion of Poland and Outbreak of WWII." And check Wikipedia for the historical entry there.

The beginning of World War II in Europe! The Japanese invaded Manchuria on 19 September 1931, and Italy invaded Ethiopia on 3 October 1935. We Americans seem to forget those things far too often.
