EDITORS COMMENTS
September 1939: The Question of the Neutrals - A Map of Europe and the Alliances at the Outbreak of World War II As the ominous shadows of war loomed over Europe in September 1939, the continent was a complex tapestry of alliances and neutral powers. This evocative map, published by the Illustrated London News in the early days of the conflict, offers a colour-coded representation of the various European nations and their allegiances. The Axis Powers, led by Germany, are depicted in a menacing dark red. The Allied Powers, primarily France and the United Kingdom, are shown in a bold, resolute blue. The map also highlights the neutral European countries, painted in various shades of grey, whose sympathies and eventual involvement would prove pivotal in the coming conflict. Switzerland, Belgium, Holland, and Sweden, among others, were determined to maintain their neutrality, despite the mounting pressure from both sides. Their support, or lack thereof, would significantly impact the outcome of the war. The map serves as a poignant reminder of the intricate web of political alliances and the delicate balance of power that defined Europe on the brink of World War II. The title, "The Question of the Neutrals," underscores the importance of these countries in the unfolding conflict. As the world watched with bated breath, the fate of Europe hung in the balance, and the choices made by these neutral powers would shape the course of history. This historic map, originally published by the Illustrated London News Ltd. in September 1939, offers a captivating glimpse into the complex geopolitical landscape of Europe on the eve of World War II.
