I'm not entirely sure, but there was a famous photomontage by John Heartfield during the 1920's. Geneva was the base for the League of Nations, of which the USA didn't join, which made it hard for Britain and France to put trade sanctions on Italy when they invaded Abyssinia and Japan when they invaded Manchuria. So i would say that the USA was the so-called 'spirit' of Geneva. Something that should be there but isn't.
-----------------------------------------
Sorry, above answer is totally wrong!!! The spirit of Geneva means the feeling connected with the beginning internationalism in these days: Most of the essential networks which were/are global active were/are located in Geneva: E.g. the League of Nations, the International Red Cross, the Women's International League, the International Labour Office, Save the Children International Union etc. had/have their headquarters there.
Pierre Bovet, Edouard Claparède and Adolphe Ferrière fostered their international network in connection with the 'Bureau international des Ecoles nouvelles' and the 'Institut Jean-Jacques Rousseau' - the New Education Fellowship had their its roots with its journal "Pour l'ère nouvelle"...
Last but not least Lazarus Ludwig Zamenhof invented Esperanto. There was an amazing, incredible international activity rooting to or erradiating from Geneva during these days after the First World War. This activity is responsible for the presence of people working for these organizations with global aims, so this spirit was felt by the presence of these international people with global pacifistic ideals.

What is the history of Ethiopia?
Some issues in Ethiopia's recent history include: Countries such as Britain and France had conquered smaller nations in the "Scramble for Africa" in the nineteenth century. In 1896, Italy had attempted to expand in eastern Africa by adding Abyssinia to her conquests (which included Eritrea and Somaliland), but the Italians were heavily defeated by the Abyssinians at the Battle of Adowa. In 1934, Abyssinia (Ethiopia) was still one of the few independent states in a European-dominated Africa. In 1928, Italy had signed a treaty of friendship with Abyssinian leader Haile Selassie, but Italy was already secretly planning to invade the African nation. In December 1934, a dispute at the Wal Wal oasis along the border between Abyssinia and Italian Somaliland gave Italian dictator Benito Mussolini an excuse to respond with aggression. Italian troops stationed in Somaliland and Eritrea were instructed to attack Abyssinia. Overwhelmed by the use of tanks and mustard gas, the Abyssinians stood little chance. The capital, Addis Ababa, fell in May 1936 and Haile Selassie was removed from the throne and replaced by the king of Italy, Victor Emmanuel.

Why do bikers use the iron cross symbol?
I haven't noticed that many bikers using it but if they do you can bet it got its basis from the Wehrmacht bikers during WW2. The iron cross is a German symbol. The Germans were some of the first to employ motorcycles heavily in combat. The iron cross and other symbols like it had their base in the medieval era including the teutonic knights who the Germans used as propoganda.
You know how some bikers wear those kaizer helmets with the metal spike on top, or we think of bikers like that, its the same concept.
