What happened on Tuesday July 18, 1939?

Here's what happened on July 18, 1939:

• Roosevelt Warns of Impending European War President Franklin D. Roosevelt met with key senators at the White House to discuss the escalating tensions in Europe. During the meeting, Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull emphasized the imminent threat of war. Senator William Borah of Idaho, however, remained skeptical, confidently asserting that no war would occur before January. When Hull urged Borah to review State Department intelligence cables, the senator dismissively rejected the suggestion, claiming he had superior information sources. This exchange highlighted the significant divide in understanding the geopolitical risks leading up to World War II.
• Sugihara's Humanitarian Visa Rescue Mission Japanese diplomat Chiune Sugihara began a courageous humanitarian mission in Lithuania, providing transit visas to help people escape potential persecution. By issuing these critical travel documents across Soviet territory to Japan, Sugihara would ultimately save thousands of Jewish refugees from the impending Holocaust, demonstrating extraordinary moral courage in the face of growing Nazi aggression.
