    Isolationism in Post-World War I America

    In George Washington's farewell speech he warned the American people to beware "the insidious wiles of foreign influence." Though it was never put into law, this statement has played a major role in the American foreign policy of isolationism. American isolationist sentiment stems from the fact that America is geographically isolated from the rest of the world. American isolationist sentiment was at its peak in the years following World War I. "In the war of 1914-1918 that had set the stage on which Hitler now strutted, no people had been more reluctant combatants, and few more disappointed with the result, than the Americans"(Kennedy, 385). After losing more than fifty thousand young troops in a war that was viewed to be unnecessary, the American people began to view neutrality as the best policy. The reasons for American intervention into World War I, which included the sinking of the Lusitania and large foreign investments, were to be avoided at all cost in the unstable 1930s. The Great Depression and the New Deal promoted insulation from foreign trade in order to improve the economy. Extreme isolationist sentiment shaped and hindered Franklin Roosevelt's foreign policy in the late 1930s. The Neutrality Acts of the 1930s were designed to maintain neutrality by first eliminating the causes of World War I. As the War ripped through Europe, the American isolationists slowly began to view intervention as a necessary evil.…

    American Isolationists DBQ

    When WWII first began in 1939, the United States was hesitant to get involved. During this time, many Americans were Isolationists, believing the United States should refrain from intervening with international conflicts. Isolationism led to the passing of the Neutrality Acts, which outlawed the sale or loan of arms to nations at war. However, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941, it was clear the American Isolationist debate was over. Not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States was at war with the Axis Powers, made up of Germany, Italy, and Japan. To contribute to the war effort, Americans changed their lives economically, politically, and socially.…

    A Visual Analysis of a World War II Poster.

    "Keep this Horror from Your Home," an American propaganda poster produced during World War II, uses many visual and textual elements to encourage Americans to buy war bonds by portraying the Japanese as rapists. The author of the piece is unknown, but it is obvious that the creator of the poster carefully chooses the color, patterns, scale, text, and representation of the piece to send a very strong social and political message. There is little doubt that the underlying message was directed towards all Americans during World War II, and not towards a single community or group of people. The viewer does not need an art background or even the slightest political awareness to understand the meaning of the poster. Rather, the poster is simple and straightforward. The central focus of the poster is on the Japanese man, whose facial features are clearly exaggerated to instill fear and disgust in the eyes of the viewer. In contrast, the frightened and vulnerable expression of the American woman, who is helpless in the grasp of the Japanese soldier, fuels the viewer's hatred for the Japanese even more. Its message is palpable to the extent of the quickest glance, yet there is more evidence hidden beyond the surface of the poster. Its full visual potential can be realized only after analyzing the various visual and textual elements in exacting detail.…

    Isolationism

    Before World War II, the United States had a policy of isolationism, where they did not want to interfere in the affairs of any other country. Instead, Americans chose to work on domestic problems like the Great Depression, while foreign countries in Europe and Asia started to give rise to fascist dictators. Members of the America First Committee, like Charles Lindbergh (refer to doc. F) wanted to keep the US from intervening in these countries. However, public opinion started to change more and more as problems in Europe and Asia rose. Starting in the 1930s, the United States was forced into rejecting isolationism and heading to war instead due to economic, political, and social reasons. The US was in a depression and businesses saw a market in war supplies. As dictatorships rose in Europe, Roosevelt felt the need to intervene. Public opinion started to sway as Americans learned of innocents affected by the war.…
