14. History Moment 3! (also known as Ch 14)

Chapter Fourteen

Hello again! It's your favorite non-canon partially-insane history-butchering narrator, Random-san! I'm here to bring you yet another Hetalia History Moment so that you can still tell your parents/boyfriend/girlfriend/spouse/friends/whoever that your possible obsession with fanfictions such as this actually serves a purpose in your life!

In July 1938, barely a year before World War Two began, a meeting was held in the city of Évian-les-Bains, France, at the initiative of American president Franklin D. Roosevelt. A total of 32 countries (and 39 private organizations) sent representatives to partake in this meeting, whose main focus was on increasing numbers of Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution. This meeting was called the Évian Conference. Despite the fact that the meeting lasted eight days, in the end there was really no change in plans at all. Britain and America refused to take in any larger amount of Jews than they already were, and most of the other countries at the conference followed suit, leaving Nazi Germany to go through with Hitler's "Final Solution" and giving the German and Austrian Jews with nowhere to go. As Wikipedia says, the conference was seen by some as "an exercise in Anglo-American collaborative hypocrisy."[1]

The World Conference/World Meeting in the last chapter is actually based largely on the situation of the Évian Conference, especially in the sense that no one knew exactly what was going on and no one actually agreed with each other about anything. …Of course, this World Meeting took place in 1941, and neither Yugoslavia nor Germany actually attended, but who cares? It's Hetalia. I bet none of you are even reading this anyway.
