Edict of Nantes
It was issued in 1598, by king Henry IV Bourbon of France. It was the second document (after The January Edict of 1561) issued by a French sovereign to provide religious freedom in the country. It was a consequence of the long-lasting religious conflicts in France between Catholics and Huguenots (other name for Calvinists), situated mainly in Southern France. King Henry IV succeeded Henry III Valois and his infamous mother Catherine de Medici. Henry IV was one of the most prominent leaders of the Protestant opposition in France, but had to convert to Catholicism (for the second time in his life) in order to inherit the throne. The Edict of Nantes was one of the first things that he did as a king, and, basically, it allowed for the Protestants across the land to hold on to the cities that they had turned into their strongholds, while Catholics did the same, too. This was a compromise and angered many, Catholics because they could not get rid of the "heresy" among their lands, and Protestants because they could not succeed in reforming France once and for all.
They had less money, less supplies and men. Therefore that means they were lacking resources. Their government was very weak. They were depending on European countries to send them supplies and money in exchange for cotton.
Go with option b it’s the right one
Well, this answer is hugely personal, but I'd argue it's due to the US's law against international intervention (it took the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour to finally convince the congress to join the war) and the fact that fascist ideas were pretty popular in the south of the country, namely in the regions that were sympathetic to racial segregation with whom the idea of a superior race promoted by fascist and nazi ideology was pretty popular. Again, this is based on my opinion, I am no pre-WW2-American scholar!
