| Description | World War II cartoon shows Uncle Sam standing by a fence where he has been watching Stalin and Hitler wage a fist fight in the yard next door. He is distracted by the sight of two small boys, labeled "Peru" and "Ecuador," fighting in his own back yard. As Americans watched the German invasion of Russia in the summer of 1941, hostilities broke out between Peru and Ecuador over contested boundaries, hampering the development of an effective Western Hemisphere defense. |
