Abstract

With the outbreak of the World War, we, as a nation, became vitally interested in Europe. Later when we were drawn into the contest, that interest reached its highest pitch. Since then we have realized that geography is not a collection of dry, unrelated facts that must be learned merely for the sake of the mental training it gives us, but that it is a vital, living subject that concerns living, vital people all over the world and their relation to each other. When the war broke out, we were ashamed and astonished at our lack of geographic knowledge. We looked up maps and charts and eagerly followed the course of the war. As we studied the positions of the various nations involved, we realized that each nation is what it is because of its physical background and the advantages and limitations that nature has given it. Now for the last decade, we've tried to follow the problems and discussions of the peace and reparations conferences, which have affected and will affect almost every nation of the globe.
