How Did Ww2 Contribute To Roosevelt's New Foreign Policy

Before WWII started, Roosevelt was creating a new foreign policy that would basically say if the US was choosing to be isolationist or interventionist. They based themselves on three factors that influenced the new foreign policy, their democratic values, national security, and economics. Their democratic values were concerned mostly with the nation’s defense of our freedom. Our national security was concerned over the British fleet sustaining control of the Atlantic so the US will not risk and attack from Germany from the Atlantic. Our economy raised in profits from our industry. The war helped bring up our economy through providing resources, and with this the US became less isolated. Roosevelt’s foreign policy changed from an isolationist view to an interventionist view from 1937 to 1941 based on the nation’s economics, national security, and democratic values. There was a fear of war brewing and countries such as the US and Britain wanted to be prepared, so they made a compromise. The British provided for our defense as long as the US supplied them with the resources they needed. From making and selling military weapons and vehicles to other countries, we were mostly unprepared, but we had the profit to use to get back on track. Roosevelt believed that a
Willkie acknowledged in an Acceptance speech that we must accept our relationship with Britain. Roosevelt attempted to not get involved in any wars or alliances because we were not stable enough or prepared militarily for war. This was a major concern over other nation’s as well, but the US had to accept the fact that having allies was the only way to stay protected. Roosevelt wanted to keep our freedom of being controlled by other nations, especially communists. This would be more evidence towards how our views changed before the war from isolationist to interventionist. (Document
