Answer:

C. "It would draw America away from her isolation and into internal affairs and concerns of Europe."

Step-by-step explanation:

America before and after World War One advocated for neutrality wanting to not be apart of foreign affairs. The reason why America joined the war in 1917 was because of German threats such as unrestricted submarine warfare, Zimmerman Telegraph, European economics, etc. After the war, not only senators but the American population did not want to be apart of another foreign conflict.

Answer C.

why: because during president Washington's farewell address he insisted that we don't get tied into European affairs because we would essentially be stuck in a endless cycle of wars, alliances, and basically exert our resources into other nations problems.
tldr: not my problem
