    • 8 Pages

    By the turn of the century, isolationist sentiment was gradually giving way to a more aggressive, nationalistic undercurrent. After the Spanish-American War in 1898, Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft pushed for a more assertive American foreign policy. They called for the U.S. to take its place among the powers and take action abroad for its own national interests. Many Americans agreed that the U.S. should be more involved. Yet, many still believed that isolationism was the right course and that the two vast oceans on either side would shield them from embroiling conflicts. Upon entering office in 1913, President Woodrow Wilson remarked, “It would be an irony of fate if my administration had to deal chiefly with foreign affairs.” He could not have been more wrong.…

    In the 1930s, the American government disallowed the sales of weapons to outside nations who were at war by implementing the Neutrality Acts of 1935, 1936 and 1937 (558). However, the President of the United States at that time, Franklin Roosevelt, supported the idea that America should assist nations to resist the Axis forces which consisted of Germany, Italy and Japan (558). As such, Roosevelt did succeed in persuading Congress to approve the Lend-Lease Agreement which allowed America to lend weaponry to the Allied forces (558). To ensure that America was not directly involved in the war, America placed a “strong military presence in the Pacific” to deter any forces from attacking American soil, which, however, turned out to be unsuccessful…

Washington, in his Farewell Address, warned the country to stay out of permanent foreign entanglements and to stay neutral. The United States stayed faithful to Washington’s warnings for about 125 years.
