10 October 1938

Hello friends! I thought my last entry would be my last blog, but a significant event has occurred and I thought that I must write about it!  Before I speak of that, let me tell you what has happened in the last few years...I arrived home a few weeks after my last blog.  I was glad to be home after such a long time being away but to be honest; I do miss parts of Europe
Once I arrived home, the visited family after being away for so long, I was very happy to see them! 5 and a half years are too long.
I went back to the University of Michigan and continued my studies.  I graduated with a major in history and a minor in economics.  We will see where that degree takes me! Visiting Europe when I did taught me a lot about myself, what potential I have and what I would like to go into when I am older.  That trip is definitely the highlight of my life thus far!
Even though I am back home, I am still following the news and the events that are occurring over in Europe.  Many people are nervous and fearful that a war may be on the horizon.  Hitler's rise to power is exponentially growing and fear is embedded in our bodies.
One recent and significant event that has just occurred is the invasion of the Sudetenland and Czechoslovakia.  The Sudetenland's population is mainly German.  On September 10th, a meeting was held with the leaders of the following nations; Britain, France, Italy and Germany.  And the result of this meeting created the Munich Agreement, and it was signed.  The Munich Agreement loosened the Treaty of Versailles limitations against Germany.  The benefit of the Sudetenland to the Germans is that the Sudetenland held the bulk of Czech fortifications.  This German take over of the Sudetenland created a much easier way to take over all of Czechoslovakia.  Czechoslovakia’s Prime Minister Chamberlain originally sold out Czechoslovakia to Hitler.  However, after Hitler’s invasion of the Sudetenland, Chamberlain then thinks he cannot trust Hitler and Chamberlain belief in Hitler came down in shambles.  Therefore, the end of the appeasement.  Through all of this tension, the allies are not intervening in Hitler’s actions and his invasions into other countries. 
I fear that Hitler will continue his invasions and he won’t be stopped, the allies should intervene as soon as possible before things get worse. 
Readers, watch this story and follow it! I truly believe there will be something that comes out of this invasion, and I feel that Hitler's actions are going to escalate.
Have the people of Europe in your prayers, God Bless everyone!
Thanks for reading!
