Question

Americans observed the disturbing events developing in Europe and Asia, as Germany and Japan began their aggression and fascist regimes in Spain and Italy emerged. However, there was not enough support to begin a conflict.

What traditional policy was the United States continuing by not acting?

a) isolationism
b) globalization
c) interventionism
d) fascism

Answer 1

In general, the United States did little in response to acts of aggression in Europe and Asia because Americans did not want to be pulled into another European war. The general mood of isolationism forced Roosevelt to follow a foreign policy based on neutrality.
