On September 27, 1938, President Franklin Roosevelt reached out to German Chancellor Adolf Hitler, addressing the looming threat of war in Europe. Hitler had been threatening to invade the Sudetenland of Czechoslovakia. In his letter, Roosevelt urged for a peaceful resolution.

Earlier, FDR had appealed to Hitler, suggesting negotiations with Czechoslovakia instead of military action to acquire the Sudetenland's resources. Hitler argued that the Treaty of Versailles had unfairly treated Germany, justifying his claims to the Sudetenland as part of Germany's cultural and historical heritage.

In his September 27 letter, Roosevelt expressed relief at Hitler's assurances but emphasized the need to continue negotiations between Germany and Czechoslovakia for a peaceful settlement. He proposed a conference of concerned nations to resolve the conflict. Roosevelt appealed to Hitler's ego, suggesting that a peaceful solution would be recognized as a historic service to humanity.

Ultimately, Hitler disregarded international pleas, invading Czechoslovakia in March 1939 as part of his larger ambitions to control Europe and establish the "Third Reich."
