Chapter 965: United Nations Conference

Christmas of 1938 best demonstrated the extent of loss suffered by nations worldwide during the war.

Logically speaking, Christmas, being one of the most important holidays in the West, equivalent to the Spring Festival in the East,

should have been a time of laughter and joy in Western nations, with people enjoying abundant food and celebrating together, basking in the beauty of this beautiful holiday.

But now, in most areas of the belligerent countries, the former laughter and joy were long gone.

Even the food that Europeans took for granted had become scarce on the tables of the people in the belligerent countries.

The situation was somewhat better in Britain and France. Although they also suffered losses, they had supplies from their colonies, and the continuous export of grain and meat from Australasia meant that, while the supply situation for the public was tense, it was not yet desperate.
