Thanks for the links, philman. The 1938 annexation of the Sudentenland was approved by both the British and the French so I'm not certain it was considered an "act of war." The "Reader's Digest Illustrated Story of WWII" names the 1939 attack on Poland as the official beginning of the war....but it also praises FDR. (^:

I'd be willing to bet that the people of the Sudetenland/Czechoslovakia would view it differently.
