President Franklin Roosevelt, Quarantine Speech, 1937 The ideas expressed in the excerpt differed from the prevailing United States approach to foreign policy issues primarily in that Roosevelt was seeking to encourage 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.
