Description of Lecture
Herbert Hoover directed the three major food relief operations that were related to World War I and its aftermath: Belgian Relief during World War I, Eastern Europe in 1919 and Soviet Russia in 1921-22. This lecture centers on aspects of the least researched of these—the one directed at Eastern Europe (the area from Finland to Romania) in 1919 and examines the motivation, organization, financing and implementation of the relief, as well as the political and economic impact of the relief effort.
