Isolationism
Q : From the end of the First World War to the beginning of Second World
War the historically ``isolationist foreign policy ' of the United
States although still in evidence , slowly but surely began to change .
A : FALSE .
From the end of the First World War to the beginning of the Second World
War , America reverted back to its isolationist foreign policy . Even
when the Second World War erupted in 1939 , isolationist groups were
getting strong support for the country to remain neutral . It was only
in 1940 that Americans began rethinking their role in the world . When
Pearl Harbor was
bombed , America decided to come out of its isolation and join the Allied
Forces . Without the Pearl Harbor incident , America would probably have
remained uninvolved in the Second World War .
Even during the colonial period , the country 's distance and difficulties
of reaching it largely contributed to remoteness and isolation . The
foundations of isolationism were well in place even before America
became independent . George Washington , in his farewell address , asked
the citizens not to get involved in alliances that are artificially
founded in armed movements .
In the twentieth century , with the rise of Japan and Germany as world
powers , the isolation of America will be tested . The United States '
isolationism as a foreign policy combined a non-interventionist military
policy and protectionism . Aside from non-interference with the wars of
the other nations , it controlled trade and cultural exchange with other
countries . Before the First World War , America has always practiced
isolationism in order to promote local prosperity . It abandoned its
isolationist practice during the WWI when it became threatened enough by
Germany 's submarine warfare . The country 's participation in the war
against Germany and its allies , marked the first major step away from
isolationism . Once the war was ended , however , the American Congress
refused to sign The Treaty of Versailles and promptly closed its doors
to alliances with European countries , to avoid being drawn into wars
other than defense of its territories . America maintained that it
didn 't want to compromise peace and prosperity of the nation with the
troubles of Europe . The nation refused membership in the League of
Nations . Isolationism was enforced and persisted for years . In the
1920s to 1930s , majority of the Americans were solidly supportive of
non-entanglement in Europe 's wars . Only those immigrants coming from
Europe were pushing for involvement . The country and its citizens kept
blind eyes and deaf ears to other nations ' affairs , while insulating
trade by imposing tariffs on foreign goods .
Leading war resisters advocated that America should not go to war to
accommodate greedy capitalists , and that German atrocities in World War
I was just British propaganda . Those in the legislative bodies passed
without difficulty the Neutrality Act of 1935 , prohibiting export of
arms to any nation who 's engaged in war . The public was in agreement
they didn 't believe that getting involved in others ' wars involved
common sense . Even when Mussolini announced that it would attack
Ethiopia...
