Use the historical excerpt to answer the question.


“I ask the fifty-two nations not to forget today the policy upon which they embarked [began] eight months ago, and on faith of which I directed the resistance of my people against the aggressor whom they had denounced [condemned] to the world. Despite the inferiority of my weapons, the complete lack of aircraft, artillery, munitions, hospital services, my confidence in the League was absolute. I thought it to be impossible that fifty-two nations, including the most powerful in the world, should be successfully opposed by a single aggressor. Counting on the faith due to treaties, I had made no preparation for war, and that is the case with

certain small countries in Europe.”
