Question 5 • US History

Which of these was a reason the US adopted a policy of isolationism before World War II?

Answer
A
the desire to get Americans involved in world conflicts
B
the desire to help Americans travel to foreign countries
C
the large number of American casualties in World War I
D
the large number of American casualties in the Spanish Civil War

Explanation

Many Americans wanted to avoid another overseas war after the heavy loss of life in World War I. That desire helped drive isolationist policies before World War II. The Spanish Civil War did not cause a large number of American casualties, and isolationism meant avoiding involvement in foreign conflicts, not encouraging it.
