Question

What events in Europe impacted America’s views on foreign policy?

Answer 1

The correct option is A

When World War II broke out, President Roosevelt could not support France and Britain as he would have wished - since he was convinced that his defeat would negatively affect US interests and put his way of life at risk - because the laws of Neutrality, approved by Congress a few years before, on the proposal of the isolationists, prevented the granting of aid, even material support, to countries at war. The rapid victory of Germany over Poland in September 1939 allowed Roosevelt to open a first breach in the neutrality laws when he succeeded in having Congress pass the law known as Cash and Carry, which allowed arms and other goods to be sold to the countries involved in it. a war if they paid cash (cash) and they themselves were responsible for transporting what they bought on their own, thus assuming all the risks (carry). This made it possible for France and Britain to buy the weapons they needed in the United States.

After the surrender of France in June 1940, Roosevelt took a much more important second step in the involvement of the United States in World War II. It was the agreement of destroyers by bases that was signed on September 2 with Great Britain according to which the United States Navy transferred to the British Royal Navy and the Royal Canadian Navy fifty "leftover" destroyers in exchange for the installation of American bases in Newfoundland, Nova Scotia, the Bermuda Islands and in different parts of the Caribbean, all of them territories under British rule.
