1-<span> The US had always been an Isolationist country, meaning that they tried to stay out of foreign affairs. This is probably because of the difficulty we were experiencing internally. We ended up sending help to Britain and the Allied forces because they had more democratic governments, while the Axis forces were more authoritarian. The US was inclined to help democratic countries because they would be stronger allies and not nearly as hostile.
3-</span><span>First neutrality act- I agree with the US decision to stay neutral at first, because it is what we were familiar with and because we needed to save supplies in case the fighting escalated over here. Cash and Carry- I personally disagree with the Cash and Carry amendment to the Neutrality Act, because it made the US a bigger target, since we were actually supplying the war effort on the Allied side. US Aid to China- I support the US aid to China because, again, they were a more democratic country that was under attack by Japanese forces. The Japanese forces were allies with Germany, who was at war with our allies, Britain and France. Lend-Lease act- The Lend-lease act was good because it aided Britain, who was struggling against Germany. This also established good foreign relations between the US and UK that still exist today.
2-</span><span>Americans had entered World War I with great reluctance. Following the conflict, the country returned to the policy of isolationism. The Great Depression of the 1930s reinforced the idea that the U.S. needed to concentrate on domestic problems, rather than foreign affairs. At the same time, great changes were happening in Europe and Asia. New, forceful leaders were rising in Germany and Italy, and Japan was demonstrating more military strength. How did these events slowly draw the United States back onto the world stage? In this lesson, you will learn about the shift from isolationism to intervention that took place during the 1930s. You will consider the events surrounding this change and analyze increasing levels of U.S. involvement. At the end of the lesson, you will write three paragraphs in which you discuss your ideas about the point at which the United States was truly committed to involvement in the 20th century's defining conflict—World War II.</span>

Answer:

For the first paragraph, include that the US was neutral because the Great Depression struck them and they had just gone through WW1. The president wanted the US to remain isolated. America just wanted peace.

For the second paragraph, include that Japan bombing Pearl Harbor ultimately started the war.

I hope this helps you get started

What led to the formation of political parties?
S_A_V [24]

The disagreements between different groups when developing the new US Constitution lead to the creation of political parties.

When delegates were meeting at the Constitutional Convention to change the Articles of Confederation, the convention was split into two groups. The Anti-federalists favored a small central government, significant autonomy for states, and the continued use of the Articles of Confederation.

The federalists wanted a stronger central government, less power to state governments, and the development of a completely new constitution.

The First World War was a cataclysm that disrupted countless lives. As a modern, total war, it brought men and women into active battle zones across Europe as well as in parts of Africa and Asia. New technology further extended the borders of the war. <span>Air power </span>made it possible to launch attacks against civilian populations at some distance from traditional frontlines, and U-boats sank passenger ships, such as the Lusitania in 1915, that were loaded with men, women, and children crossing the Atlantic. In addition, albeit with less novelty, invading armies ended up occupying swathes of territory. Civilian women and men in Belgium, the north and east of France, Serbia, and parts of the Russian empire among other locales came under the control of occupying powers.
