Members of his family lived in the main European capitals, and he learned <a href="/wiki/French_language" title="French language">French</a> and <a href="/wiki/German_language" title="German language">German</a> at a very young age.<a href="#cite_note-:1-6">[6]</a> As a boy, Bullitt spent every summer on a grand tour of Europe.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198718-12">[12]</a> Despite his upbringing, he always saw himself as an American first. Bullitt was staying in Paris during the Spanish-American War. During the war, he hung an American flag on the window of his room in his parents' Paris house to show his support for his country and wanted to attack the Spanish embassy in Paris, which his parents forbade, saying that as a seven year old, he was too young to take part in the war.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198718-12">[12]</a> As a child, he was considered a rebellious and rambunctious youth who tended to associate with the "bad boys," as his parents called boys from poor families.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198718-19-13">[13]</a> As a teenager, he developed an obsession with one day being president. As he wrote in private school: "I'm going to be a lawyer and Governor and Secretary of State and President.”<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198719-14">[14]</a> As a student, he was considered to be intelligent, charming and funny, but with a fierce combative streak along with being very egoistical.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198720-21-15">[15]</a> Bullitt did not hesitate to use his family's wealth to achieve his ambitions, and when one of his private school teachers accused him of cheating on an exam, Bullitt had his father use his influence to have the teacher fired.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198721-16">[16]</a> Bullitt graduated from <a href="/wiki/Yale_University" title="Yale University">Yale University</a> in 1912, after having been voted "most brilliant" in his class.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198730-17">[17]</a> When Bullitt arrived at Yale in September 1908, he saw the institution as mainly a way to make contacts for his future political career.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198729-18">[18]</a> Bullitt, who was already fluent in German and French, chose to major in those languages. This allowed him to achieve outstanding grades without working too hard. He himself noted that he spoke better German and French than his professors.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198729-30-19">[19]</a> Bullitt had little interest in learning, and he saw attending Yale more as a way to be popular, and he set out with much success to be the proverbial "big man on the campus.”<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198730-17">[17]</a> Handsome, intelligent, witty and good at both athletics and scholarship, Bullitt was an exceedingly popular student.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198729-30-19">[19]</a> Two of Bullitt's closest friends at Yale were <a href="/wiki/Cole_Porter" title="Cole Porter">Cole Porter</a> and <a href="/wiki/Monty_Woolley" title="Monty Woolley">Monty Woolley</a>, with whom he staged several plays.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198730-31-20">[20]</a> During his time at Yale, he was a member of the elite <a href="/wiki/Phi_Beta_Kappa" title="Phi Beta Kappa">Phi Beta Kappa</a> fraternity and in 1911 was elected to the <a href="/wiki/Scroll_and_Key" title="Scroll and Key">Scroll and Key</a> secret society.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198730-31-20">[20]</a> After graduating from Yale, Bullitt enrolled at <a href="/wiki/Harvard_Law_School" title="Harvard Law School">Harvard Law School</a>. At Harvard, his professors did not tolerate the antics in which Bullitt engaged at Yale, such as his constant jokes in the lecture halls and his practice of diverting a classroom conversation in order to dominate it and show off his intellectual abilities.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198734-21">[21]</a> One of Bullitt's professors at Harvard, <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Henry_Beale" title="Joseph Henry Beale">Joseph Henry Beale</a>, took a particular pleasure in humiliating him in the classroom, which contributed to his decision to drop out of Harvard.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198735-36-22">[22]</a> Moreover, during his time at Harvard, Bullitt became obsessed with the fear that he might become impotent due to his prematurely thinning hair, because he erroneously associated baldness with a loss of sexual potency, and he assaulted several other students who suggested to him he would soon be impotent.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198736-23">[23]</a> Additionally, Bullitt did not enjoy his legal studies, which he had undertaken only because of his father, who threatened to cut him off from his monthly allowance if he did not enter Harvard Law School.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198736-37-24">[24]</a> When Bullitt's father died in March 1914, he immediately dropped out of Harvard.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198737-25">[25]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="World_War_One">World War One</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=William_Christian_Bullitt_Jr.&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: World War One">edit</a>]</div> In 1914, Bullitt visited Russia with his mother. He was in Moscow on 28 July 1914 when <a href="/wiki/Austria-Hungary" title="Austria-Hungary">Austria-Hungary</a> declared war on <a href="/wiki/Kingdom_of_Serbia" title="Kingdom of Serbia">Serbia</a>, provoking pro-Serb demonstrations on the streets as angry crowds waved the Serbian and Russian flags while chanting "Down with Austria! Long live Serbia!"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20175-26">[26]</a> Bullitt took the last train from Moscow to Berlin and left Russia just before <a href="/wiki/German_Empire" title="German Empire">Germany</a> declared war on Russia on 1 August 1914.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20175-26">[26]</a> Upon his return to America, Bullitt worked as a journalist for the <a href="/wiki/Philadelphia_Ledger" class="mw-redirect" title="Philadelphia Ledger">Philadelphia Ledger</a>, and become the deputy editor of the paper in 1915.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20175-26">[26]</a> In December 1915, in a publicity stunt, <a href="/wiki/Henry_Ford" title="Henry Ford">Henry Ford</a> chartered an ocean liner, the Oscar II, which he called the "<a href="/wiki/Peace_Ship" title="Peace Ship">Peace Ship</a>" and sailed to Europe with the intention of mediating an end to the war.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20175-26">[26]</a> Bullitt was one of the journalists abroad the Oscar II and he filed mocking reports from the ship about the resulting media circus, stressing the absurdity of Ford's voyage. These reports were published in various American newspapers.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20175-6-27">[27]</a> In January 1916, Bullitt started a popular humorous column in the Ledger, "Bumping the Bumps", which mocked virtually every aspect of American life.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198741-28">[28]</a> He married socialite Aimee Ernesta Drinker (1892–1981) in 1916. Drinker was a renowned beauty from one of Philadelphia's wealthiest families who turned down marriage proposals from 50 different men before she decided to accept Bullitt's marriage proposal.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20176-29">[29]</a> Given her surplus of marriage proposals, many were surprised that she agreed to marry Bullitt, whom she dated only for a brief time and barely knew.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198751-30">[30]</a> The Drinker family had arrived in the newly founded colony of Pennsylvania in 1670 as one of the first English settlers, and had a quasi-aristocratic position in Philadelphia's social life.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20176-29">[29]</a> The marriage of a son and daughter from two of Philadelphia's richest families made front-page news in Philadelphia.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198751-52-31">[31]</a> Bullitt was incapable of understanding women as persons, and he regarded his wife as an object that existed only for his own needs.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198751-30">[30]</a> Given his views, the marriage became deeply unhappy.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198751-30">[30]</a> The couple took their honeymoon in May 1916 in Germany, Austria-Hungary and German-occupied <a href="/wiki/Belgium" title="Belgium">Belgium</a>. Bullitt interviewed various German and Austrian leaders for the Ledger.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20176-29">[29]</a> The Bullitts were described by the Russian historian Alexander Etkind as a "socially progressive, but culturally conservative" couple who greatly admired the welfare state of Imperial Germany, which preserved the rule of the traditional elites while providing sufficient care for the poor to apparently end the possibility of a revolution.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20176-29">[29]</a> Bullitt was especially impressed with the German health care system, under which the German state provided free medical care for all, and came to wish that his country adopt a similar system.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20176-29">[29]</a> In September 1916, Bullitt took a guided tour of the Eastern Front, where he wrote admiringly of the German Army.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20176-29">[29]</a> Bullitt interviewed the industrialist <a href="/wiki/Walther_Rathenau" title="Walther Rathenau">Walther Rathenau</a> who told him that Germany might give <a href="/wiki/Constantinople" title="Constantinople">Constantinople</a> to Russia as compensation for German annexations of other parts of the Russian empire.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20177-32">[32]</a> When Bullitt objected that the Ottomans would be opposed to the loss of their capital, Rathenau cynically replied, "We would only have to publish full accounts of the Armenian massacres, and German public opinion would be so incensed that we could drop the Turks as allies."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20178-33">[33]</a> Bullitt came to dislike the censorship and the overbearing behavior of the German officials. Ernesta wrote in her diary: "Billy says the Germans are the most moral people in the world when it comes to dealing with Germans and the most immoral in their dealings with the rest of the world."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind20178-33">[33]</a> On 3 September 1916, in Budapest, Bullitt interviewed the Hungarian prime minister, Count <a href="/wiki/Istv%C3%A1n_Tisza" title="István Tisza">István Tisza</a>, who admitted to him that the Austrian ultimatum to Serbia in 1914 had been written with the intention of having it be rejected. When he asked Tisza if the German government had been aware of the ultimatum, Tisza refused to answer. Tisza gave Bullitt the impression that he regarded starting the war as a monstrous mistake as he told him that all Austria wanted in 1914 was to annex Serbia, which had led to a war where millions had died.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198758-59-34">[34]</a> On 17 September 1916 in Berlin, Bullitt interviewed the German Foreign Secretary, <a href="/wiki/Gottlieb_von_Jagow" title="Gottlieb von Jagow">Gottlieb von Jagow</a>, and caught him in a lie when Jagow claimed to have been ignorant of the contents of the Austrian ultimatum to Serbia. Bullitt then tricked Jagow into admitting that he had seen the Austrian ultimatum before it was issued.

members of the American delegation, Bullitt was annoyed by the way that Wilson sought to concentrate all of the decision-making in his hands.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200178-42">[42]</a> On 17 February 1919, Colonel House told Bullitt that he was to go to Moscow to meet Vladimir Lenin.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200178-42">[42]</a> Along with <a href="/wiki/Philip_Kerr,_11th_Marquess_of_Lothian" title="Philip Kerr, 11th Marquess of Lothian">Philip Kerr</a>, the private secretary to the British prime minister, <a href="/wiki/David_Lloyd_George" title="David Lloyd George">David Lloyd George</a>, House briefed Bullitt on his secret mission.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200178-42">[42]</a> House stated that Bullitt's mission was "for information only".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200178-42">[42]</a> Bullitt always insisted that he been sent to Moscow to negotiate the terms on which the United States would establish diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia, a claim that is not supported by the documentary evidence.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200178-79-43">[43]</a> Both Wilson and Lloyd George had hopes of reaching an understanding with the new Bolshevik regime, but at the same time were aware that the French Premier <a href="/wiki/Georges_Clemenceau" title="Georges Clemenceau">Georges Clemenceau</a> favored a hardline anti-Bolshevik stance.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-44">[44]</a> A major issue in relations was the Bolshevik debt repudiation of all the debts of Imperial Russia on 21 January 1918.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes1993218-45">[45]</a> In the largest debt repudiation ever in history adjusted for inflation, some 13 billion rubles worth of debt, a sum equal to $6.5 billion U.S. dollars, was repudiated in its entirety by Lenin as a matter of principle, which inflicted a major blow to the stability of the international finance system, which had already been strained by the First World War.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes1993218-45">[45]</a> Of the bondholders affected by the Bolshevik debt repudiation, half were French.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes1993218-45">[45]</a> French investors had been by far the largest buyers of Russian bonds, and had invested the most capital in Russia, and French public opinion was outraged by the nationalization without compensation of all French assets in Russia, which amounted to a sum equal to $2.5 billion U.S. dollars, along with the Soviet debt repudiation of 1918.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes1993218-45">[45]</a> Admiral <a href="/wiki/Alexander_Kolchak" title="Alexander Kolchak">Alexander Kolchak</a>, the "supreme leader" of the Whites, had promised to repay the repudiated bonds once the Whites won the civil war, and so he was the Russian leader most favored by the French.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198778-46">[46]</a> Both the British and the American delegations knew that recognizing Soviet Russia would cause problems with the French delegation at a time when there was much tension about the other aspects of the peace terms, and the Bullitt mission was intended to open the door for future recognition of Soviet Russia at a later point.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-44">[44]</a> The Bullitt mission was so secret that only four people were even aware of it, and amongst those excluded were the State Department, the Foreign Office and the French government.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes199366-47">[47]</a> Bullitt was acting on behalf of the U.S. government, but his mission also had the tacit support of the British government.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes199366-47">[47]</a> Lloyd George was sympathetic towards the Bolshevik regime, but his Conservative coalition partners were not.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes199366-47">[47]</a> The Canadian historian <a href="/wiki/Margaret_MacMillan" title="Margaret MacMillan">Margaret MacMillan</a> wrote that Bullitt was chosen for the mission because he was "expendable" if it failed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-44">[44]</a> MacMillan described the 28-year old Bullitt as a very ambitious and somewhat immature man who let his associations with world leaders and his hopes for advancement get the better of him, as he wanted too badly a major success that would elevate him into the world elite.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200178-79-43">[43]</a> Likewise, the American historian <a href="/wiki/Richard_Pipes" title="Richard Pipes">Richard Pipes</a> wrote that Bullitt was a very ambitious man who was unqualified for the mission to Moscow.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes199366-47">[47]</a> Bullitt was so determined to have all the expected glory from his mission to Moscow that he excluded more experienced diplomats such as <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Grew" title="Joseph Grew">Joseph Grew</a> from going with him.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198782-48">[48]</a> Prior to the negotiation of the Treaty of Versailles, Bullitt, along with journalist <a href="/wiki/Lincoln_Steffens" title="Lincoln Steffens">Lincoln Steffens</a> and Swedish communist <a href="/wiki/Karl_Kilbom" title="Karl Kilbom">Karl Kilbom</a>, undertook a special mission to <a

The Bullitt mission was opposed by the Secretary of State, <a href="/wiki/Robert_Lansing" title="Robert Lansing">Robert Lansing</a>, the British War Secretary <a href="/wiki/Winston_Churchill" title="Winston Churchill">Winston Churchill</a>, and the French Premier <a href="/wiki/Georges_Clemenceau" title="Georges Clemenceau">Georges Clemenceau</a>, all of whom favored support for the White cause in the Russian civil war.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBennett199736-50">[50]</a> In Petrograd (modern St. Petersburg), Bullitt and Steffens met <a href="/wiki/Grigory_Zinoviev" title="Grigory Zinoviev">Grigory Zinoviev</a> who lost interest in them once it was clear that their visit was for "information only".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198784-51">[51]</a> In Moscow, Bullitt and Steffens were treated as honored guests, being allowed to live in a palace that had once belonged to a grand duke of the House of Romanov; were given the best caviar for their meals; and at the Moscow opera sat in a booth that had once been reserved only for the Emperor Nicholas II and the other members of the imperial family.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-44">[44]</a> Bullitt noticed that the streets of Moscow were covered with corpses of those who had starved to death, which Bullitt blamed not on Bolshevik policies, but on the Allied blockade.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198786-52">[52]</a> Bullitt and Steffens met Lenin at the Kremlin and came away impressed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-44">[44]</a> Bullitt reported to Wilson that Lenin was "straightforward and direct, but also genial and with a large humor and serenity".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-44">[44]</a> Likewise, Bullitt was impressed with the Foreign Commissar, <a href="/wiki/Georgy_Chicherin" title="Georgy Chicherin">Georgy Chicherin</a>, and his English-speaking deputy foreign commissar, <a href="/wiki/Maxim_Litvinov" title="Maxim Litvinov">Maxim Litvinov</a>, as he reported to Wilson that both Chicherin and Litvinov were "full of the sense of Russia's need for peace" and were willing to repay all of the repudiated debts provided the Allies cease supporting the Whites.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes199367-53">[53]</a> On March 14, Bullitt received a Soviet proposal that demanded that the Allies agree to a peace summit on the <a href="/wiki/Russian_Civil_War" title="Russian Civil War">Russian Civil War</a> in which they had been participating. The proposed terms for discussion included the lifting of the Allied blockade on the country, the <a href="/wiki/Allied_intervention_in_the_Russian_Civil_War" title="Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War">withdrawal of foreign troops from Russia</a>, the disarmament of the warring Russian factions, and a commitment by the Bolshevik government to honor Russia's financial obligations to the Allies (the second time that the Soviets promised in writing to honor the Tsarist debt).<a href="#cite_note-54">[54]</a><a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> Under the terms proposed, the Allies would withdraw all of their forces from Russia and end all support for the Whites.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-44">[44]</a> Lenin was willing to accept the existence of the various White governments, but since his offer called for an end for Allied support for the Whites, his concession was only cosmetic.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-44">[44]</a> The Bolsheviks had control of Petrograd, Moscow and the industrial cities of the Urals and hence of the Russian arms industry, while the Whites depended entirely upon arms from abroad.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes199367-53">[53]</a> Bullitt was highly enthusiastic about Lenin's offer, and very much favored accepting it.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-44">[44]</a> Bullitt saw Lenin's offer as a way to enter elite circles and wrote to Colonel House "You must do your utmost for it".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198788-56">[56]</a> Bullitt and Steffens returned from Moscow alongside the British writer and spy <a href="/wiki/Arthur_Ransome" title="Arthur Ransome">Arthur Ransome</a>, who worked as a double agent for both <a href="/wiki/MI6" title="MI6">MI6</a> and the <a href="/wiki/Cheka" title="Cheka">Cheka</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201741-57">[57]</a> Ransome—who publicly supported the Bolsheviks—served as Bullitt's guide to Russia.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201741-42-58">[58]</a> Pipes wrote that: "Bullitt's mission had an air of unreality about it. Only people ignorant of the causes of the conflict and the passions that it aroused could conceive of such a plan".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes199366-47">[47]</a> The Allied leaders <a href="/wiki/Origins_of_the_Cold_War" title="Origins of the Cold War">rejected these terms</a>, however, apparently convinced that the White forces would be victorious.<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a> British Prime Minister <a href="/wiki/David_Lloyd_George" title="David Lloyd George">David Lloyd George</a> had given early support to the Bullitt Commission, but he refused to make its findings known to the public. He told Bullitt that was because of pressure by <a href="/wiki/Winston_Churchill" title="Winston Churchill">Winston Churchill</a>, who was an ardent anticommunist.<a href="#cite_note-60">[60]</a> House was in favor of accepting Lenin's offer, but Wilson was not.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-44">[44]</a> Bullitt in his report to Wilson wrote that "a dull, inexperienced, young people were trying rudely but conscientiously and at the cost of great suffering to themselves to find a better way than the old way".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes199367-53">[53]</a> On 28 March 1919, Bullitt shared a breakfast with Lloyd George, who told him that personally that he was in favor of accepting Lenin's offer, but the establishment of the <a href="/wiki/Hungarian_Soviet_Republic" title="Hungarian Soviet Republic">Hungarian Soviet Republic</a> led by <a href="/wiki/B%C3%A9la_Kun" title="Béla Kun">Béla Kun</a> had alarmed the Conservative Party's backbenchers.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-44">[44]</a> Lloyd George was a Liberal, but as he headed a coalition government with the Conservatives, he could not afford to alienate Conservative opinion in Britain.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-80-61">[61]</a> Joining Lloyd George for the breakfast with Bullitt were his private secretary <a href="/wiki/Philip_Kerr,_11th_Marquess_of_Lothian" title="Philip Kerr, 11th Marquess of Lothian">Philip Kerr</a>, the cabinet secretary General <a href="/wiki/Maurice_Hankey,_1st_Baron_Hankey" title="Maurice Hankey, 1st Baron Hankey">Maurice Hankey</a> and the South African prime minister <a href="/wiki/Jan_Smuts" title="Jan Smuts">Jan Smuts</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198782-48">[48]</a> The Bullitt mission had been leaked to the media after his return, and newspapers reported rumors that the United States and the United Kingdom were about to establish diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200179-80-61">[61]</a> In a leader (editorial) in the <a href="/wiki/Daily_Mail" title="Daily Mail">Daily Mail</a> written by <a href="/wiki/Henry_Wickham_Steed" class="mw-redirect" title="Henry Wickham Steed">Henry Wickham Steed</a>, Lloyd George was accused of working for "Jewish interests" to aid the Bolsheviks.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200180-62">[62]</a> Lloyd George handed over to Bullitt the Daily Mail with the leader attacking him and told him: "As long as the British press is doing this kind of thing, how can you expect me to be sensible about Russia?"<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200180-62">[62]</a> On 16 April 1919, Lloyd George stated in the House of Commons about the Bullitt mission: "There was a suggestion that there was some young American who had come back".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200180-62">[62]</a> Clemenceau was utterly opposed to the Bullitt mission when he learned of it, and favored continued French support for the Whites.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPipes199367-53">[53]</a> Having failed to convince the leadership to support the establishment of relations with the Bolshevik government, Bullitt resigned from Wilson's staff.<a href="#cite_note-Schlesinger-49">[49]</a> Bullitt was shattered by the way he had been disowned, and turned against Wilson, who he felt had betrayed him.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan200180-62">[62]</a> On 7 May 1919, Bullitt called a meeting of the younger members of the American delegation at the <a href="/wiki/H%C3%B4tel_de_Crillon" title="Hôtel de Crillon">Hôtel de Crillon</a> and asked all to jointly resign to protest the terms of the Treaty of Versailles, which he argued were too harsh on Germany, in order to embarrass Wilson.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan2001467-63">[63]</a> He argued to the assembled diplomats "This isn't a treaty of peace" and argued that as a group they had a moral responsibility to resign.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan2001467-63">[63]</a> Bullitt handed out red roses to those delegation members who agreed to resign and yellow roses to those who refused.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan2001467-63">[63]</a> Of the young American diplomats, only nine received the red roses from Bullitt.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198794-64">[64]</a> Among those who joined Bullitt in resigning were <a href="/wiki/Adolf_A._Berle" title="Adolf A.

Bullitt stated in his resignation letter that he planned "to lie on the sand and let the world go to hell".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan2001490-65">[65]</a> In an open letter to Wilson, he condemned the peace as a tragic mockery of the principle of <a href="/wiki/Self-determination" title="Self-determination">self-determination</a>. He wrote: "I was one of the millions who trusted confidently and implicitly in your leadership and believed that you would take nothing less than a 'permanent peace' based upon 'unselfish and unbiased justice'. But our government has consented now to deliver the suffering peoples of the world to new oppressions, subjections and dismemberments—a new century of war...Russia has not been considered at all. Unjust decisions of the conference in regard to Shantung, the Tyrol, Thrace, Hungary, East Prussia, Danzig, the Saar Valley and the abandonment of the principle of the freedom of the seas make new international conflicts certain. It is my conviction that the present League of Nations will be powerless to prevent these wars and the United States will be involved in them".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198795-66">[66]</a> He later returned to the United States and testified in the Senate against the Treaty of Versailles. The Republican Senator <a href="/wiki/Henry_Cabot_Lodge" title="Henry Cabot Lodge">Henry Cabot Lodge</a> had Bullitt called as an expert witness before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, where he testified that if the American people knew what had really happened during the Paris peace conference, they would never accept the Treaty of Versailles, which Bullitt called a betrayal of Wilson's principles.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBennett199737-67">[67]</a> Bullitt's testimony before the Senate received much coverage in the American media and helped to turn American public opinion against the Treaty of Versailles.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan2001490-491-68">[68]</a> During his testimony, Bullitt depicted Wilson as a weak man who had given away too much at the Paris peace conference to create what he called an unacceptable treaty.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEMacMillan2001491-69">[69]</a> He also had his report of his Russian trip placed into the record.<a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a> <a href="/wiki/Margaret_MacMillan" title="Margaret MacMillan">Margaret MacMillan</a> describes both Bullitt and Steffens as "useful idiots" who were swindled by <a href="/wiki/Lenin" class="mw-redirect" title="Lenin">Lenin</a> into Western abandonment of the <a href="/wiki/White_movement" title="White movement">White Russian</a> factions.<a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a> Most historians, however, consider Lenin's peace offer to be a genuine effort to end the war that threatened his regime.<a href="#cite_note-72">[72]</a><a href="#cite_note-73">[73]</a><a href="#cite_note-74">[74]</a> <a href="/wiki/Stephen_Walt" title="Stephen Walt">Stephen M.

reflected Bullitt's cynical attitude towards American democracy, which he depicted as a corrupt sham in It's Not Done.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198737-25">[25]</a> In his novel, he portrayed the United States as being ruled by a secret oligarchy of wealthy families who manipulated the politicians to serve their interests.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings198737-25">[25]</a> In It's Not Done, Bullitt mocked American life as asinine and philistine as at one point a character commented that the United States was full of "matchless clowns such as Bryan, Billy Sunday, Gompers" along with "the Rotarians, Ku Kluxers and the readers of The Book of Etiqutte".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECassella-Blackburn200472-93">[93]</a> Reflecting Bullitt's still simmering rage with Wilson, the former president appeared in It's Not Done as a sanctimonious buffoon speaking with a ridiculously overdrawn Southern accent.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECassella-Blackburn200472-93">[93]</a> The plot of It's Not Done concerned a young man, John Corsey, from an ultra-wealthy

works as a journalist.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201757-91">[91]</a> Besides for having precisely the same background and backstory as Bullitt, Corsey was similar to Bullitt in terms of personality.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201757-91">[91]</a> Corsey has a passionate romance with the Frenchwoman Nina Michaud, an intellectual and a sculptor, who closely resembles Bryant in terms of appearance and personality.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201769-70-94">[94]</a> Nina is portrayed as a sensuous type who prefers to sculpt nudes because it allows her to admire the naked bodies of the models she hires.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201769-70-94">[94]</a> However, at the prompting of his overbearing mother, John abandons Nina to marry Mildred Ashely, a beautiful and "proper" woman from the American upper classes who strongly resembles Bullitt's first wife, Ernesta Drinker.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201770-95">[95]</a> John tells his mother that Nina makes him "happy, happy, happy", but admits that "she's not our kind".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987106-78">[78]</a> Heartbroken, Nina returns to France, and unknown to John, is pregnant

impotent due to psychological as opposed to physiological reasons.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987106-78">[78]</a> Just like the real Ernesta Drinker, Mildred has an affair with the

illegitimate son, Raoul, a Reed-like crusading French Communist journalist.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201770-95">[95]</a> The discovery miraculously cures John of his impotence and he joyously has sex with Nina.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201770-95">[95]</a> John divorces Mildred, marries Nina and the book ends with John and Nina bailing out their son who has been jailed for inciting a strike.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201770-95">[95]</a> John does not share Raoul's Communist politics, but he rejoins in the irony that his bloodline will be carried on by a man committed to the destruction of the capitalist system that has made him into a rich man.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201760-97">[97]</a> The book was very successful, going though 24 printings within a year

That was quite exceptional, as Freud very rarely co-operated with other authors. Freud had confessed to Bullitt that he was feeling depressed while Bullitt mentioned to him that he was writing a book about the Paris peace conference of 1919 with every chapter to be devoted to covering one of the principle leaders, all of whom Bullitt had met.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201778-99">[99]</a> Freud offered to help write the chapter on Wilson, which developed into a biography of Wilson.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201778-99">[99]</a> Bullitt realized the book would sell better if it was marketed as a psychobiography of Wilson co-written by Freud.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201778-99">[99]</a> Freud wanted to work with Bullitt, who had known Wilson well and provided him with first-hand insights into the former president.<a

href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201779-100">[100]</a> Bullitt was likewise equally hostile to Wilson, a mentor and friend he had turned against.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201779-80-101">[101]</a> Out of a shared dislike of Wilson, the two went to work writing their psychobiography.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201779-80-101">[101]</a> Greatly influenced by Freud's theories, Bullitt wrote a novel, The Divine Wisdom, that was considered highly scandalous at the time due to its frank description of sexuality and an incestuous affair between the two main characters.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201777-102">[102]</a> The Divine Wisdom begins in St. Petersburg in the late 19th century when a wealthy American industrialist, Peter Rives, falls in love with and marries Ursula Dundas, the beautiful daughter of the American ambassador to Russia.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201777-102">[102]</a> The character of Ursula Dundas was a thinly disguised version of Ernesta Drinker, Bullitt's first wife.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201777-102">[102]</a> Rives and Dundas live happily together with Anna, Peter's daughter from his first marriage, but the marriage collapses when Rives discovers his wife has been unfaithful with a British diplomat, whose child she is pregnant with.<a

fall in love, being unaware that David's mother was once married to Anna's father.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201777-102">[102]</a> Even after learning the secret, David and Anna continue their relationship.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201777-102">[102]</a> The couple are legally brother and sister as David's birth certificate lists Peter as his father, but the two cannot bear to be separated, and instead consummate their love.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201777-102">[102]</a> When Rives learns of the relationship, he is enraged and arrives in Istanbul with the intention of killing both of them for what he views as an incestuous affair, even though he is aware that he is not David's father.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201777-102">[102]</a> David and Anna are chased by a gang of ruffians hired by Peter down the streets.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201777-102">[102]</a> The couple flee to the tunnels of Istanbul, discover a room full of treasure, have sex

by Peter, but is wounded and dies in Anna's arms.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201778-99">[99]</a> The Divine Wisdom reflected Bullitt's disenchantment with the puritanical atmosphere in 1920s America, symbolized most notably by Prohibition, and his greater comfort in the more relaxed and permissive atmosphere in Europe.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201778-99">[99]</a> The major theme of the novel is the deeply felt love between David and Anna vs. the stern and deranged puritanism of Peter, whom is determined that both should die for what he considers to be incest, which was Bullitt's attack on what he considered to be repressive morality of America.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201778-99">[99]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2

Despite his wife's very public affair with Le Gallienne, which she no longer bothered to conceal after Bullitt found Le Gallienne's love letters, he remained fond of her and initially refused to divorce her.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987118-104">[104]</a> As he researched his Wilson biography, Bullitt came into contact with several Democratic leaders, most notably "Colonel"

Bryant was having an affair with Le Gallienne.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201775-76-103">[103]</a> The real reason for the divorce suit was that Bullitt had realized that his marriage to a well known Communist writer was threatening his political ambitions, and he used his wife's lesbian affair as his cudgel to win sole custody of their daughter.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECassella-Blackburn200474-107">[107]</a> Bryant was so embarrassed by the love letters from Le Gallienne that Bullitt's lawyer, Thomas White, introduced as evidence that she was an unfit mother that she did not contest the divorce.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987118-104">[104]</a> On 24 March 1930, a Philadelphia court dissolved his marriage to Bryant and awarded him sole custody of their daughter, Anne.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind201776-108">[108]</a> In 1967, Anne Bullitt married her fourth husband, U.S. Senator <a href="/wiki/Daniel_Brewster"

To maintain peace for the present, to keep the nations of Europe divided, to foster enmity between Japan and the United States, and to gain the blind devotion and obedience of the communists of all countries so that they will act against their own governments at the behest of the Communist Party in the Kremlin, is the sum of Stalin's policy".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953656-657-137">[137]</a> Bullitt argued that the chief aim of American diplomacy must be to "...to point out the danger to Europe of the continuation of the Franco-German enmity and to encourage reconciliation between France and Germany".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953657-138">[138]</a> Bullitt concluded: "we should the guard the reputation of Americans for businesslike efficiency, sincerity and straightforwardness.

On 9 July 1938, Bullitt denounced in a newspaper article certain unnamed nations (by which he clearly meant Italy, Germany and Japan) for having resorted to "the murder of defenseless men, women and children" via the bombing of cities (a reference to the bombings of Ethiopian, Spanish and Chinese cities) and stated that "without international morality as without national morality, there can be no human life worth living".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953663-178">[178]</a> Roosevelt did not share Bullitt's inclinations for the appeasement of Japan.

This seemed to be a slightly more hopeful sign".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953660-170">[170]</a> During the crisis, Bullitt's main fear was that Soviet "agent provocateurs" would stage an

the United States would join a stop Hitler bloc."<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAdamthwaite1977209-171">[171]</a> The British historian Anthony Adamthwaite noted that Bullitt's Francophilia sometimes got

Upon hearing the news, Bullitt rushed over to Bonnet's apartment with a bouquet of flowers and tears in his eyes as he told Bonnet that this was: "le salut fraternel et joyeux de 'Amérique" ("the fraternal and joyful greeting of America").<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953661-177">[177]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Anti-appeaser:_the_aircraft_talks">Anti-appeaser: the aircraft talks</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=William_Christian_Bullitt_Jr.&action=edit&section=16" title="Edit section: Anti-appeaser: the aircraft talks">edit</a>]</div> On 3 October 1938 over a luncheon, Daladier told Bullitt: "If I had three or four thousand aircraft Munich would had never had happened".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997234-182">[182]</a> Daladier told Bullitt that he had only signed the Munich Agreement because of the weaknesses in the Armée de l'air, and that he very much wanted to buy modern American aircraft to avoid having to sign treaties like the Munich Agreement again.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997234-235-184">[184]</a> Bullitt reported that: "Daladier sees the situation entirely, clearly, realizes fully that the meeting in Munich was an immense diplomatic defeat for France and England, and recognizes that unless France can recover a united national spirit to confront the future, a fatal situation will arise within a year".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953664-169">[169]</a> On 13 October 1938, Bullitt visited Washington to meet Roosevelt to inform the president about the grave weaknesses in the Armée de l'air.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953664-169">[169]</a> Roosevelt had been unaware that most of the aircraft of the Armée de l'air were antiquated and obsolete aircraft that would have been no match for the modern aircraft of the Luftwaffe, and found Bullitt's reports about the problems in the French aviation industry most worrisome.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997235-185">[185]</a> About his change from a supporter of appeasement to an opponent of appeasement, Kaufman wrote: "It is probably true that Bullitt lacked any studied and reasoned conception of international politics...But intuition, intelligence and wide experience enabled him to see clearly after the rude shock of Munich...The threat to his beloved France now stood forth in stark and ominous outline; a great many of his influential acquaintances were turning their backs on appeasement; the days of illusion had passed".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953671-186">[186]</a> Bullitt advised Roosevelt that Britain and France were "America's first line of defense" and told him that the United States must make its industrial capacity available to both states as he stated that it was the only way to save the peace in Europe.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953672-187">[187]</a> At a dinner in Washington on 22 October 1938 attended by Roosevelt, Bullitt, Monnet and Morgenthau, the latter objected to the plans for the French to buy American aircraft.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997235-185">[185]</a> Morgenthau stated that France was a "bankrupt, fourth-rate power" and he told Monnet bluntly that according to his information that the French treasury lacked the sum of francs equal to $85 million U.S. dollars needed to buy the 1, 700 aircraft that Monnet indicated the Armée de l'air needed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997235-185">[185]</a> However, despite his doubts about France's ability to pay for the aircraft, the Jewish Morgenthau, who was easily the most anti-Nazi member of Roosevelt's cabinet, was willing to assist France.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997235-236-188">[188]</a> Bullitt and Morgenthau devised a scheme that the French government seize the assets of French citizens in American banks to raise the necessary money, a plan that was vetoed by the French Finance Minister, <a href="/wiki/Paul_Reynaud" title="Paul Reynaud">Paul Reynaud</a>, as likely to cause a crisis in France.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997235-185">[185]</a> On 14 November 1938, Bullitt was present at a meeting at the White House where Roosevelt announced a secret plan to deter Germany from war by supplying American aircraft on a gargantuan scale to Great Britain and especially France.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKennedy1999429-189">[189]</a> During the meeting, Bullitt stated: "The moral is: if you have enough airplanes you don't have to go to Berchtesgaden".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKennedy1999429-189">[189]</a> Roosevelt concluded: "Had we had this summer 5, 000 planes and the capacity immediately to produce 10, 000 per year, even though I would have to ask Congress for the authority to sell or lend to the countries in Europe, Hitler would not have dared to take the stand he did".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKennedy1999429-189">[189]</a> Roosevelt's strategy was to ensure American economic and material support to Britain and France on such a scale that Germany would never dare risk a war with those powers, but at the same time do so in such a low-key manner that it would avoiding angering isolationists.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKennedy1999429-189">[189]</a> Roosevelt took up the suggestion that the aviation factories be located near the Canadian border to have the aircraft assembled in Canada should a war break out in Europe and the Neutrality Act come into force.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997235-185">[185]</a> The British historian D.C.

was to pay for additional aircraft remained.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997237-192">[192]</a> Monnet planned for France to create a corporation in Canada that would borrow the money for more aircraft orders, leading to Morgenthau to crossly point out the Johnson act of 1934 forbade loans to nations that defaulted on their World War One debts as the French had done in 1932.<a

affairs.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWatt1989138-194">[194]</a> As Bullitt along with Welles were Roosevelt's favorite foreign policy advisers, his reports had much influence with the president.<a

attempt to circumvent the Johnson act, which Bullitt vetoed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997237-192">[192]</a> Both Daladier and Reynauld apologized to Bullitt for the default of 1932, saying it was an "extremely stupid" thing to have done, but argued that France needed loans to buy more American aircraft immediately.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997237-192">[192]</a> Daladier offered to Bullitt to turn all of the islands of the French West Indies and the French Pacific islands to the United States plus a lump sum payment of ten billion francs to cover the war debts in exchange for the Johnson act being repealed.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997238-195">[195]</a> Roosevelt declined the offer, saying that American isolationists in Congress would see the French offer as a crude bribe meant to embroil the United States in a conflict with Germany.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997238-239-196">[196]</a> Daladier was so desperate to have American aircraft that at one point that he mused that he would be willing to sell the Palace of Versailles to the United States in exchange for France being allowed to buy American aircraft, saying he needed modern aircraft to ensure the survival of France while the French did not need the Palace of Versailles to ensure national survival.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997241-197">[197]</a> <div class="mw-heading

During the <a href="/wiki/Danzig_crisis" title="Danzig crisis">Danzig crisis</a>, Bullitt was very supportive of France while suffering from extreme stress as he sought to find a way to avoid another world war.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987234-235-198">[198]</a> During the crisis, Bullitt normally went to bed at midnight and woke up at 3 am as he was worried obsessively about the crisis.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987235-199">[199]</a> At a meeting on 4 April 1939 attended by Daladier, Reynaud, Monnet and Bullitt, Daladier stated he had the power to govern via degree and that "he did not care how many islands it might be necessary to turn to the United States if only the question could be settled".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997239-200">[200]</a> Bullitt reported that both Daladier and Reynaud were "anxious to act quickly" to obtain American aircraft before the Danzig crisis turned into a war.<a

Pacific Fleet to dissuade the Japanese from taking advantage of the Danzig crisis, a request that Roosevelt had refused.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWatt1989259-201">[201]</a> Acting on the knowledge that the British would be more involved in Europe if the Americans were more involved in Asia, St. Léger told Bullitt that the Deuxième Bureau had discovered a secret German-Japanese plan that Japan would attack the British and French colonies in Asia the moment Germany invaded Poland.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWatt1989259-201">[201]</a> Prying on popular American stereotypes of Britain in general and the Chamberlain government in particular, St. Léger claimed to Bullitt that pressure from the city had led Chamberlain to decide to send the main part of the Royal Navy to Singapore (the major British naval base in Asia) and accordingly the Danzig crisis was more likely to end in war.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWatt1989259-201">[201]</a> Bullitt accepted St. Léger's claims and reported them as fact to Roosevelt, who reversed himself and ordered much of the U.S. Atlantic fleet transferred over the Pacific fleet.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWatt1989259-201">[201]</a> In fact, all of St. Léger's claims were false and were intended to have the Americans more involved in the Asia-Pacific region to keep the British engaged in the Danzig crisis.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEWatt1989259-201">[201]</a> In April 1939, Bullitt advised Roosevelt that he should denounce Hitler for violating the Munich Agreement by occupying the Czech half of Czecho-Slovakia and the Memelland.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953673-202">[202]</a> Bullitt further advised the president that he must ask Congress to repeal the Neutrality Acts.<a

potential enemies of American arms.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953673-202">[202]</a> On 7 April 1939, Bullitt met with Colonel Beck and <a href="/wiki/Juliusz_%C5%81ukasiewicz" title="Juliusz

Danzig crisis.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987234-203">[203]</a> Bullitt warned Roosevelt that he must tell the American people that "the acceptance of war is a less horrible alternative than the acceptance of slavery".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953673-202">[202]</a> Much to Bullitt's annoyance, Roosevelt instead on 15 April 1939 sent out a public message to Hitler asking him not to threaten other states.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953673-202">[202]</a> On 16 April 1939, Litvinov proposed an Anglo-French-Soviet alliance to deter Germany from invading Poland.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987236-204">[204]</a> Despite his hatred of the Soviet Union, Bullitt tentatively supported the idea of a "peace front" of the United Kingdom, France and the Soviet Union.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953671-672-205">[205]</a> Bullitt reported to Roosevelt that Stalin was not to be trusted, but that he agreed with Daladier's statement that "no stone should be left unturned, even though one might expect to find vermin under it".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953672-187">[187]</a> Bullitt called the British negotiating tactics "dilatory and almost insulting" as the British government took weeks to reply to Soviet offers, if at all, and agreed with Daladier that the British were conducting the "peace front" talks in a manner that did not reflect the gravity of the crisis.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987236-204">[204]</a> On 28 April 1939, Hitler gave a speech before the Reichstag that was a reply to Roosevelt's request, which he ridiculed mercilessly by reading out statements from 34 different governments that they did not feel threatened by the Reich. After Hitler's speech, St. Léger met with Bullitt to tell him that Hitler's response to Roosevelt's request to not threaten his neighbors was to renounce in his speech the 1934 German-Polish non-aggression pact and for the first time in public lay claim to the Free City of Danzig.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987233-206">[206]</a> St. Léger commented upon the aggressive tone of Hitler's speech and argued that the <a href="/wiki/Protectorate_of_Bohemia_and_Moravia" title="Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia">Protectorate of Bohemia and Moravia</a> proved that Hitler was willing to occupy Slavic lands.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987233-206">[206]</a> St. Léger expressed the view that Hitler was probably planning to invade Poland based on his speech.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987233-206">[206]</a> Bullitt reported with astonishment the claim by Phipps who had told Daladier that Hitler's speech opened the door for a peaceful resolution of the Danzig crisis.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987234-203">[203]</a> Bullitt also reported that Daladier had told him that the arch-appeaser Phipps-who was very close to Bonnet-was a "dangerous" man whose mind was full of "nonsense" who should not be serving as the British ambassador in Paris.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987234-203">[203]</a> On 4 May 1939, Litvinov, the longtime Soviet Foreign Commissar and an advocate of collective security was sacked and replaced with <a href="/wiki/Vyacheslav_Molotov" title="Vyacheslav Molotov">Vyacheslav Molotov</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECassella-Blackburn2004194-207">[207]</a> Bullitt saw no great significance to Litvinov's firing, which he attributed to a power struggle within the Politburo, writing to Roosevelt that the "anti-Jewish" members of the Politburo such as <a href="/wiki/Andrei_Zhdanov" title="Andrei Zhdanov">Andrei Zhdanov</a>, <a href="/wiki/Vyacheslav_Molotov" title="Vyacheslav Molotov">Vyacheslav Molotov</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Andrey_Andreyevich_Andreyev" title="Andrey Andreyevich Andreyev">Andrey Andreyev</a> had<blockquote>all desired to take foreign policy out of the hands of the Jews.

On 10 May 1940, the Wehrmacht launched Fall Gelb (Case Yellow) and by 16 May 1940 had won the Second Battle of Sedan. After the German broke through the French lines along the Meuse river, Bullitt became desperate in his dispatches to Washington as he wrote the French immediately needed more American aircraft.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953676-223">[223]</a> In a desperate gesture, Bullitt advised Roosevelt to send the U.S. Atlantic fleet on a tour of Greece, Portugal and the international free city of Tangier in a bid to deter Italy from entering the war on the Axis side.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953675-221">[221]</a> Bullitt reported to Roosevelt that the panzers had pushed their way past anti-tank obstacles along the Meuse "as if they did not exist".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKennedy1999439-224">[224]</a> Welles complained about the "something fantastic" quality of Bullitt's dispatches from Paris as he grew increasingly hysterical though May–June 1940.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953676-223">[223]</a> On 18 May 1940, St. Léger told Bullitt that Reynaud planned to ask Roosevelt to have the United States declare war on Germany.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997242-225">[225]</a> On 31 May 1940, Reynaud made the request while the same day Bullitt asked for the American Atlantic fleet to be sent to Algeria to keep Italy out of the war.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKeylor1997242-225">[225]</a> Bullitt suggested to Roosevelt and Hull that in May 1940 "that nothing would have a greater restraining influence on Mussolini than a genuine fear that the Pope might leave Rome and take refuge in a neutral country", leading to argue that the Pope should go to the United States.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEKaufmann1953675-221">[221]</a> On 29 May 1940, Bullitt in a message to Roosevelt stated:<blockquote>Al Capone [Mussolini] will enter the war about forth of June, unless you throw the fear of the U.S.A. into him.

On 13 July 1940 Bullitt reported to Roosevelt after watching the Assemblée nationale vote itself out of existence earlier that day:"The death of the French Republic was drab, undignified and painful".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987262-231">[231]</a> Roosevelt was deeply unhappy that Bullitt had stayed in Paris instead of going to Bordeaux, though he did receive Bullitt at the Roosevelt family home of <a href="/wiki/Hyde_Park,_New_York" title="Hyde Park, New York">Hyde Park</a> upon his return to the United States.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987266-232">[232]</a> Bullitt predicated to Roosevelt that Britain would soon be defeated or make peace with Germany, and he warned the president that Hitler was intent upon invading South America as the prelude to an invasion of the United States.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987266-232">[232]</a> Once thought of as a potential cabinet member, he now found his career blocked.

Roosevelt had promised him several times in 1939 and 1940 that he would appoint him Navy Secretary when he returned to the United States, but instead appointed the Republican <a href="/wiki/Frank_Knox" title="Frank Knox">Frank Knox</a> to that office in 1940.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987270-271-239">[239]</a> The American historians Will Brownell and Richard Billings noted that faced with setbacks to his career, Bullitt tended to react in a petulant manner by lashing out in a style both destructive to others and to himself.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987294-237">[237]</a> In September 1940, a drunken Welles propositioned two male railroad porters. Bullitt learned of the incident through Moore, who, at his death, passed affidavits to Bullitt that were sworn by the porters who had been propositioned.<a href="#cite_note-Wellesbio-235">[235]</a> Bullitt used that information to campaign for Welles's resignation. Roosevelt long resisted taking any action against Welles. <a href="/wiki/Elliott_Roosevelt_(general)" title="Elliott Roosevelt (general)">Elliott Roosevelt</a> later wrote that his father believed that Bullitt had bribed the porters to make overtures to Welles to entrap him.<a href="#cite_note-Wellesbio-235">[235]</a> Bullitt was normally tolerant of homosexuality and his private secretary, <a href="/wiki/Carmel_Offie" title="Carmel Offie">Carmel Offie</a> was more or less openly gay, but he chose to make an issue of the incident with the porters as a way to destroy the career of Welles, a man he greatly hated and whose job he had long desired.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987297-240">[240]</a> On April 23, 1941, Bullitt confronted Roosevelt with his evidence, but Roosevelt refused to yield to Bullitt's demands and dismissed him from any further significant duties with the State Department. Bullitt argued to Roosevelt that the "unfortunate weakness" of Welles for black men made him open to blackmail.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987295-296-241">[241]</a> At one point, Roosevelt suggested to Hull that Bullitt should be appointed ambassador to <a href="/wiki/Liberia" title="Liberia">Liberia</a>, one of the worst postings in the Foreign Service.<a href="#cite_note-Wellesbio-235">[235]</a> After Operation Barbarossa was launched on 22 June 1941, Bullitt predicated a swift Soviet defeat, which undermined his standing with Roosevelt as the Soviet Union did not collapse as he predicated.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987278-242">[242]</a> On 23 June 1941, Welles told a press conference that the United States would supply Lend-Lease aid to the Soviet Union, which Bullitt protested against.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECassella-Blackburn2004212-243">[243]</a> Bullitt demanded that the Roosevelt impose conditions as the price of Lend-Lease aid and was furious when the president ignored his advice.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECassella-Blackburn2004212-243">[243]</a> On 7 December 1941, Bullitt was on vacation in <a href="/wiki/Trinidad_and_Tobago" title="Trinidad and Tobago">Trinidad and Tobago</a> when he heard the news on the radio that the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987281-244">[244]</a> Bullitt rushed back to Washington out of the expectation that Roosevelt would give him an office now that the United States was at war.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987281-244">[244]</a> On 11 December 1941, Italy and Germany both declared war on the United States. In an attempt to stop the campaign against Welles, Roosevelt appointed Bullitt as his <a href="/wiki/Ambassador-at-large" title="Ambassador-at-large">ambassador-at-large</a> for Africa and the Middle East in December 1941.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987281-244">[244]</a> Bullitt made a whirlwind tour later that month, visiting several of France's African colonies held by the Free French along with Egypt, Palestine, Lebanon, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iran.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987281-282-245">[245]</a> Upon his return to Washington, Bullitt presented to Roosevelt a largely negative picture of the British 8th Army in Egypt, which lost with monotonous regularity to the Afrika Korps, which led Bullitt to argue that United States would have to carry the main burden of the war against Germany.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987282-246">[246]</a> In 1942, Bullitt pushed the story about Welles to <a href="/wiki/US_Vice_President" class="mw-redirect" title="US Vice President">Vice President</a> <a href="/wiki/Henry_A._Wallace" title="Henry A.

On 17 June 1942, Roosevelt offered Bullitt the chance to serve as the American minister-plenipotentiary to Australia, which at the time was threatened with a Japanese invasion, which Bullitt declined under the grounds that Australia was too unimportant of a country for him to serve in.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987286-247">[247]</a> Instead, Bullitt took on a vaguely defined job as the special assistant for to the Navy Undersecretary <a href="/wiki/James_Forrestal" title="James Forrestal">James Forrestal</a>.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987286-287-248">[248]</a> In July 1942, Bullitt was part of an American delegation to London that consisted of General <a href="/wiki/Dwight_D._Eisenhower" title="Dwight D.

Brewster threatened a senatorial inquiry. The potential scandal finally forced Roosevelt to act, and on September 30, 1943, Welles resigned. Roosevelt remained very angry with Bullitt and refused to give him any other government post.<a href="#cite_note-Wellesbio-235">[235]</a> Roosevelt was deeply hurt by the way that Welles's career had been wrecked, and he told <a href="/wiki/Adolf_A._Berle" title="Adolf A.

The media mogul Luce ensured that Bullitt's "Report on China" was given widespread publicity.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHerzstein199490-269">[269]</a> Though Bullitt did not speak Mandarin, the Republican-controlled Congress had Bullitt testify as an expert witness on China that the policies of the Truman administration would lead to the "loss" of China.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHerzstein199490-269">[269]</a> Bullitt testified: "The independence of the U.S. will not last a generation longer than the independence of China".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHerzstein199490-269">[269]</a> As the resident Asia expert for the Luce media empire, another article by Bullitt was published in Life in December 1947, this time on the war in French Indochina.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHerzstein199490-269">[269]</a> Bullitt had made visit to French Indochina to see the war himself in the fall of 1947.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987311-267">[267]</a> Bullitt admitted that much of the Vietnamese population wanted independence from France, and called <a href="/wiki/Ho_Chi_Minh" title="Ho Chi Minh">Ho Chi Minh</a> an "intelligent, completely selfless man endowed with great personal charm".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHerzstein1994118-270">[270]</a> However, Bullitt advocated that Vietnam be granted independence within the <a href="/wiki/French_Union" title="French Union">French Union</a> and he wrote that the victory of the Viet Minh would replace "the yoke of France by the terrible yoke of Stalin".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHerzstein1994119-271">[271]</a> The Vietnamese leader whom Bullitt favored was the playboy Emperor <a href="/wiki/B%E1%BA%A3o_%C4%90%E1%BA%A1i" title="Bảo Đại">Bảo Đại</a> who was living in exile in Hong Kong.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987313-272">[272]</a> Bullitt advocated greater American involvement in south-east Asia to preserve French Indochina and testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee that if France failed in Vietnam, "the U.S. should perhaps take a hand in the matter".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEHerzstein1994119-271">[271]</a> Bullitt's association with the China Lobby and his criticism of the Truman administration for in his view not providing sufficient support for the Kuomintang marked his estrangement from the Democrats.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987312-273">[273]</a> In 1948, Bullitt left the Democratic Party and joined the Republican party.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEEtkind2017234-274">[274]</a> Bullitt expected the Republican candidate, Governor <a href="/wiki/Thomas_E._Dewey" title="Thomas E.

Bullitt grew increasingly preoccupied with China from 1948 onward as the Chinese Communists continued their string of victories, which he portrayed in his articles as a result of the policies of the Truman administration.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTECassella-Blackburn2004242-264">[264]</a> In 1952, Bullitt appeared with Senator <a href="/wiki/Richard_Nixon" title="Richard Nixon">Richard Nixon</a> at Georgetown University to criticize the foreign policy of the Truman administration, especially in Asia, as "soft on communism".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEBrownellBillings1987318-275">[275]</a> In the 1952 election, Bullitt endorsed the Republican candidate, <a href="/wiki/Dwight_D._Eisenhower" title="Dwight D.

It argued that Wilson resolved his Oedipus complex by becoming highly neurotic, casting his father as God and himself as Christ, the savior of mankind, which ruined the Versailles Treaty.<a href="#cite_note-279">[279]</a> The thesis put forward by Bullit and Freud was that Wilson during the Paris peace conference had suffered an "extraordinary mental disintegration" caused by his issues with his overbearing father, the Presbyterian preacher Thomas Wilson.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAmbrosius198774-280">[280]</a> Freud and Bullitt claimed that Wilson had envisioned his principle domestic opponent, the Republican senator <a href="/wiki/Henry_Cabot_Lodge" title="Henry Cabot Lodge">Henry Cabot Lodge</a>, as a "father representative" and thus could not compromise with Lodge as it brought back too many negative memories of his submission as a boy to his father.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAmbrosius198775-281">[281]</a> The co-authors argued that Wilson was delusional in 1919 as his mind was in a "wild flight from fact".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAmbrosius198775-281">[281]</a> Bullitt and Freud claimed that Wilson, a deeply religious man whose values were powerfully shaped by his Calvinist upbringing, chose to cast himself as a Christ figure who sacrificed himself as "the Savior of the World".<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAmbrosius198775-281">[281]</a> The book received a reception that was almost unanimously hostile. The historian <a href="/wiki/A._J._P._Taylor" title="A. J. P. Taylor">A. J. P. Taylor</a> called it a "disgrace" and asked, "How did anyone ever manage to take Freud seriously?"<a href="#cite_note-282">[282]</a> The American historian Lloyd Ambrosius wrote the key assumptions made by Freud and Bullitt, namely that the Treaty of Versailles was a mockery of the 14 Points and that Wilson could have if had wanted to, forced the other leaders at the Paris peace conference to accept his vision of the peace, were both wrong.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEAmbrosius198774-75-283">[283]</a> Bullitt died in <a href="/wiki/Neuilly-sur-Seine"
