Multiple Select
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.

Multiple Choice
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.

Multiple Select
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.

Multiple Choice
Which of Congress's actions reinforced the idea of American isolationism prior to WWII?
The Neutrality Acts
The Lend-Lease Act
The Cash & Carry Policy
All of the above
Answer explanation
The Neutrality Acts were a series of laws passed by Congress in the 1930s to keep the United States out of future wars, reinforcing the idea of American isolationism prior to WWII. These acts prohibited the sale of arms or loans to nations at war, reflecting the U.S.'s desire to avoid entanglement in foreign conflicts.
5.
Multiple Choice
Which group, including many prominent Americans like Charles Lindbergh, encouraged America to remain neutral in European affairs?

The Tea Party
Empire of Liberty
Answer explanation
The America First Committee was a group that included prominent Americans like Charles Lindbergh, who advocated for American neutrality in European affairs.
