Explanation:

This problem is about historical events (Germany's remilitarization, Italy's invasion of Ethiopia, Spanish Civil War, Nanjing Massacre) and international responses. The subfield of History (under Social Science) is the most appropriate as it deals with the study of past events, political actions, and international relations during the pre - World War II era.

1. 1935 - 1936 Germany remilitarizes

• Hitler forms the German Air Force (Luftwaffe was being built up, and the air force was a key part of remilitarization).
• Requires universal military service (conscripting all able - bodied men was part of remilitarization).
• The League of Nations lodged a formal protest against these actions but refused to consider sanctions against Germany (the League was ineffective in stopping German remilitarization).

2. 1935 Italy invades Ethiopia

• Mussolini invades Ethiopia (the event is about Italy's invasion of Ethiopia).
• Ethiopian forces could not stop the invasion and Italy conquers Ethiopia (Italy was successful in its invasion).
• Hitler and Mussolini form the treaty of friendship known as the Rome - Berlin Axis (the Rome - Berlin Axis was the alliance between Italy and Germany).
• Ethiopia appealed to the League of Nations for help (the League was the international body for dispute resolution at the time).
• League voted to impose economic sanctions against Italy, including an oil embargo. U.S. was asked to join the embargo, but FDR refused (the U.S. was still following isolationist policies).

3. 1936 - 1939 Germany and Italy aid Nationalists in Spanish Civil War

• Italy and Germany support rebellion led by General Francisco Franco (Franco led the Nationalist forces in the Spanish Civil War).
• Provided Nationalists with supplies, weapons, and troops (Germany and Italy supported the Nationalist side).
• Nationalists set up a right - wing dictatorship (Franco established a dictatorship after winning the civil war).
• Although some volunteers, including 3,000 Americans fought against the Nationalists, only the Soviet Union officially aided the Republican government. The U.S. Congress passed Neutrality Acts, which kept the United States out of the war (the U.S. wanted to stay neutral in foreign conflicts).

4. 1937 Japanese troops massacre civilians in Nanjing

• Japanese army captured city of Nanjing (the event is the Nanjing Massacre, which took place in Nanjing).
• Japanese soldiers go on 6 - week rampage, killing approx. 300,000 Chinese civilians and raping about 20,000 Chinese women (the Nanjing Massacre involved mass killings and rapes).
• FDR makes a speech calling for a quarantine against nations like Japan. Speech had little effect, Japan invaded French Indochina, Formosa, Korea, large areas of China and several small Pacific islands (FDR's quarantine speech was an attempt to stop Japanese aggression, and Japan continued its expansion in Asia and the Pacific).
