According to this episode, what events shaped Americans' opinion on foreign policy prior to WWII?

The Great Depression

World War I

The Civil War

The Good Neighbor Policy

Answer explanation

The events that shaped Americans' opinion on foreign policy prior to WWII were primarily the Great Depression and World War I. The Great Depression caused economic hardship and isolationist sentiments, while the aftermath of World War I led to a desire to avoid foreign entanglements. The Good Neighbor Policy also played a role, but it was a response to these sentiments, not a cause.

The period between World War I and World War II is often seen as an age of

isolationism.

intervention.

entanglement.

optimism.

Answer explanation

The period between World War I and World War II is often seen as an age of isolationism. This is because, during this time, many countries, particularly the United States, adopted policies of isolationism to avoid involvement in foreign conflicts. This was a reaction to the devastating effects of World War I. The other options, intervention, entanglement, and optimism, do not accurately describe this historical period.

Which of the following are examples of America not being as isolationist as some portray?

America's role in the Washington Naval Treaties.

America's entry into the League of Nations.

America's pursuit of the Good Neighbor Policy in South America.

America's greater role in world trade.

Answer explanation

The question asks for instances where America was not as isolationist as often depicted. America's role in the Washington Naval Treaties, its pursuit of the Good Neighbor Policy in South America, and its increased involvement in world trade are all examples of this. However, America did not join the League of Nations, which would have been a significant step away from isolationism.
