The correct answer is B) encouraging the United States to avoid political entanglements in Europe.
Unfortunately, you forgot to include the excerpt, Without it, we had to do some deep research to find information about it.
We found that the excerpt is referring to the famous "Quarantine Speech" delivered by United States President, Franklin D. Roosevelt.
The ideas expressed in the excerpt differed from the prevailing United States approach to foreign policy issues primarily in that Roosevelt was encouraging the United States to avoid political entanglements in Europe.
We are talking about the conflictive and turmoil years previous the beginning of World War II. The situation in Europe was complicated and tensions grew as Adolph Hitler and the Nazi party increased the tome of its foreign policy and aspirations.
On October 5, 1937, United States President Franklin D. Roosevelt delivered the Quarantine Speech in the city of Chicago, Illinois. He had decided to maintain the foreign policy of neutrality before the tensions in Europe.
In the speech, he talked about some lawless nations that did not want to maintain peace in the region. He never mentioned any names but it was obvious he was talking about Germany, Italy, and Japan.
Many fascist leaders such as Adolf Hitler seized power in Europe by taking advantage of the hurt that citizens felt after WWI, especially in Germany.
Hitler was a veteran of WWI, and was disgusted at how weak his country had become after the implementation of the Treaty of Versailles. Germany was in ruins, and the people were suffering, so Hitler came in and offered the people a way to get back to their place of power.
Through popular political tactics, and intimidation by the street soldiers of the fascist parties who went out and burned buildings and terrorized citizens, fascists were voted into power, and then took over the government, establishing their regimes.
