I don't know why this tickles me so. An entire community of Canadian Mennonite expatriates went lock, stock and barrel from Manitoba to Chihuahua, Mexico (!) in the 1920's to avoid WW1. And just look at them now!

Not ony that, but WWI ended in 1918. I think the news had reached them by 1920, even if they didn't use radios.
