The idea
After Japan seized Manchuria in September nineteen thirty-one, Hoover and Secretary of State Henry Stimson answered with a doctrine.
In practice
The United States refusing to recognise any territory taken by force, a doctrine the Yawp dates to January nineteen thirty-two.
Where people slip
The doctrine continues unit seven's thread of American interest in China and leads toward unit twelve's war with Japan.
