Description | World War II cartoon shows Secretary of State Cordell Hull hammering a sign reading "Closed for the Duration" on the door of the Legation of Finland. Americans strongly sympathized with Finland when it was attacked by the Soviet Union in 1939, but relations became strained when Finland allied itself with Germany in June 1941. The United States, however, held off breaking relations with Finland until June 1944. |
