The following are cartoons by Leslie Gilbert Illingworth, the great British cartoonist, about the Second World War
The League Of Nations was in despair. As France and Britain were dealing with German aggression, Russia was picking on little Finland
Churchill warns that staying neutral is not going save little nations from Nazi aggression.
General Franco the ruler of Spain, shrewdly remained neutral during WW2. Hitler ands Mussolini tried to get him to join their side but in vain.
Just thought I would make a thread on these old classic political cartoons and the meaning behind them....straightforward but just goes back to show the wit of some of these cartoonists in the midst of a War as big as this....
