![]() Montessori moved back to Amsterdam, which enabled her to help re-establish her schools throughout Europe. Fortunately, she was allowed to continue her work in India, training those who came from around the world to learn her ground-breaking educational system. Montessori and her son were held in India by the English as "alien enemies" until the war was over. While giving a three-month course in India in the summer of 1939, Italy entered the war with Germany as an ally. As political situations changed before and during World War II, she moved from Italy to Spain, then to the Netherlands. Montessori continued to teach courses throughout Europe and expand her influence over the next 20 years. During this visit, she also trained teachers and addressed the National Educational Association (NEA). Montessori's "glass classroom" allowed attendees at the Panama-Pacific International Exposition in San Francisco to see children at work.
