CLEP US History II

Answer: A - In the aftermath of World War I, the United States hoped to avoid involvement in another war, and it subsequently adopted a policy of isolationism. As hostilities escalated in Europe and East Asia in the 1930s, the United States refused to engage directly in conflict on any grounds, though it did adopt (commercial and foreign aid) policies that benefitted the warring parties they supported ideologically (like the United Kingdom).
