Abstract
The Depression topples a number of existing governments and replaces them with powerful, belligerent leaders who see expansion as a solution to their country's economic problems. Japan attacks and conquers the Manchurian area of China and sets up the puppet state of Manchukuo, renouncing the concept of open door. President Hoover is reluctant to confront Japan militarily or establish a boycott for economic reasons. After the relative calm of the 1920s, the diplomatic challenges facing the Hoover administration seem ominous and bewildering. When Hoover advocates a moratorium on payment of international debts he appears to be saying there is nothing the United States can do at home to end the Depression, making Hoover appear unconcerned and out of touch with people's suffering.
