It’s False because that woulda increase the amount of trading
Answer: It helped bring a quick victory to the Allies.
The United States had been providing some support to the Allies prior to its own entry into the war. But when the US joined the effort fully with a declaration of war, that not only meant the arrival of fresh US troops but a commitment of even more American dollars to the Allies' war effort. The American commitment greatly boosted the morale of British and French troops on the Western front and demoralized the German troops.
As to other answers I've seen suggested with this question in multiple choice format:
- Russia did pull out of the war, but that was because it went through a revolution and change of government in its own country, not because of American involvement. Russia's fight was with Germany on the Eastern front, whereas the US entered the war on the Western front.
- The United States entered the war on the Western front where the British and French had already been fighting the Germans.
- There were still additional casualties after the Americans entered the war, but bringing the war to an end sooner cut down on the huge losses of life that had been happening.
As Europeans expanded their market reach into the colonial sphere, they devised a new economic policy to ensure the colonies’ profitability. The philosophy of mercantilism shaped European perceptions of wealth from the 1500s to the late 1700s. Mercantilism held that only a limited amount of wealth, as measured in gold and silver bullion, existed in the world. In order to gain power, nations had to amass wealth by mining these precious raw materials from their colonial possessions. Mercantilists did not believe in free trade, arguing instead that the nation should control trade to create wealth and to enhance state power. In this view, colonies existed to strengthen the colonizing nation.
Colonial mercantilism, a set of protectionist policies designed to benefit the colonizing nation, relied on several factors:
Colonies rich in raw materials
Cheap labor
Colonial loyalty to the home government
Control of the shipping trade
Under this system, the colonies sent their raw materials—harvested by enslaved people or native workers—to Europe. European industry then produced and sent finished materials—like textiles, tools, manufactured goods, and clothing—back to the colonies. Colonists were forbidden from trading with other countries.
Commodification quickly affected production in the New World. American silver, tobacco, and other items—which were used by native peoples for ritual purposes—became European commodities with monetary value. Before the arrival of the Spanish, for example, the Inca people of the Andes consumed chicha, a corn beer, for ritual purposes only. When the Spanish discovered chicha, they bought and traded for it, detracting from its spiritual significance for market gain. This process disrupted native economies and spurred early commercial capitalism.
C because there no such thing as police policy
