You want me to do the whole essay?? What are you specifically asking?
I have encountered this question before. This was my answer.
The United States pursued gradual engagement to the Allied nations of Europe by passing the Lend-Lease Bill.
Under this bill, the United States will provide Great Britain the necessary supplies and armaments that it needs to fight against Germany. Knowing that Great Britain's liquidity is questionable, the United States will not demand immediate payment and when the time comes that payment is demanded,they will accept other modes of payment beside cash.
<span>In this scenario, the United States did not violate the Neutrality Act of 1939. They also ensured that the war fought in Europe will not reach their shores by ensuring that Great Britain has the capacity to fight and win the war against Germany. Thus, their assistance through lend-lease bill. </span>
Three things that drove the United States into a policy imperialism is desire for military strength, thirst for new markets and cultural superiority.
<u>Explanation:</u>
American Imperialism started in 1890 and lasted till 1920. The industrialization peaked about twice the amount of British production which led Americans to seek new consumers to sell their products. When compared to military strength the British army was 5 times and the Navy was 10 times bigger than the Americans army and navy.
The countries around the United States never set forth any threat to it but it has a fear about the oversea countries. Also, the influence of Social Dwarfism separated people into groups following different cultures. These made America feel weakened and fueled it to follow the Imperialism to become a strong nation.
