Uncle Sam: "Them fellers over there want to disarm but none of 'em dast do it first!"

In the background, Uncle Sam with a rifle in hand, sits on a hill labeled "U.S." He looks over a body of water at Kaiser Wilhelm II, John Bull, and three other unidentified male figures representing France, Russia, and Turkey, standing in a circle, pointing weapons at one another.

The escalating tension in Europe led to President Theodore Roosevelt strongly advocating arms reduction. In 1904, further encouraging the idea, he proposed a second Hague Peace Conference. His proposal was accepted by other world leaders but the actual Conference did not take place until 1907 due to the ongoing Russo-Japanese War.
