FDR was limited in his ability to respond to Britain's call for help in 1940 due to the Neutrality Acts passed by Congress in the 1930's.
The Neutrality Acts consisted of three different laws, but all of them were based around the idea of avoiding foreign wars at all costs. The following are just some conditions of this acts passed by Congress:
1) The US government was forbidden to sell arms to countries involved in war.
2) Forbid American ships from entering war zones.
3) Barred Americans from traveling on ships that would be considered hostile.
4) Prevented American commercial ships from being armed.
All of these conditions show America's dedication to staying out of foreign affairs during this time period.
The King’s Privy Council is the British Crown’s private
council. It includes cabinet members,
legislators, judges, and distinguished scholars. The council administered the
government during 1540, and implements its power through orders, instructions,
informal letters, and royal proclamations. Its power disappeared during the English Civil
War.
It was a trigger that showed that there were two competing powers in Europe: Russia and Austria-Hungary (and their allies).
Franz Ferdinand was killed by a Serbian separatist and the Austrians wanted him to be punished. On the other hand, Russia supported Serbia is saying that Austrian demands ( to be allowed to search for the culprit inside Serbia) were too much.
This lead to a direct conflict between the two powers (Austria and Russia) and further lead to the war.
Genghis Khan is the least important Mongol emperor and the most cruel one.
