By 1936 global peace was broken, as nations in parts of [[Spanish Civil War#Foreign involvement|Europe]], [[Pacification of Manchukuo|Asia]], and [[Second Italo-Ethiopian War|Africa]] were at war.<ref>{{cite web| url = https://www.encyclopedia.com/humanities/encyclopedias-almanacs-transcripts-and-maps/buenos-aires-conference-1936| title = Buenos Aires Conference (1936) {{!}} Encyclopedia.com}}</ref> Against this background the United States called for a special meeting of the [[Pan-American Union]]. Held in Buenos Aires from December 3 to December 26, 1936, the Inter-American Conference for the Maintenance of Peace received great attention from the countries of the western hemisphere. [[Franklin D. Roosevelt]] attended the meeting in person and delivered a speech in which he said that [[Americas|American]] countries are determined to live in peace and that if there is any aggression from outside, the countries of the western hemisphere are fully prepared to negotiate for their common security and interests.

The important results of the Buenos Aires Conference in 1936 led to further developments at the Pan-American Conference of Lima 1938, where the Conference of American States agreed in a declaration to settle all disputes peacefully, to refrain from interfering in other countries' internal affairs, to deny recognition of territories seized, and make it illegal to collect debts by force. The declaration was to be known as the "Declaration of Lima".<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/interwar/lima.htm|title=Declaration of Lima, 24 December 1938|access-date=May 11, 2019|archive-date=January 16, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210116024202/https://www.mtholyoke.edu/acad/intrel/interwar/lima.htm|url-status=dead}}</ref>
