Question

Isolationists would have been most likely to support which of these? higher taxes the league of nations the treaty of versailles avoiding european affairs

Answer 1

Correct answer: avoiding European affairs.

Details/context:

Isolationists opposed the Treaty of Versailles because they opposed the United States becoming a member of the League of Nations. The League of Nations was the signature idea of President Woodrow Wilson, point #14 of his 14 Points, an international peacekeeping association which he recommended for post-war settlements. The Treaty of Versailles adopted that idea, but back home in the United States, there was not support for involving America in any association that could diminish US sovereignty over its own affairs or involve the US again in wars beyond those pertinent to the United States' own national security.

Answer 2

The correct answer is “avoiding European affairs”

Even when Europe was moving closer and closer to war in the 1930s, the US Congress passed the Neutrality Acts that demanded a growth in isolationism and non-interventionism. The isolationists defended that the WWI was a failure and the safety of the US was more important than any war in Europe.
