Concept note-1: -The most accurately characterizes the policy followed by the US in the years between ww1 and ww2 is isolation from European conflicts. Thus option (A) is correct.

Concept note-2: -From Isolationism to Internationalism Many date it back to George Washington’s Farewell Address, which warned Americans to “steer clear of permanent alliances with any portion of the foreign world.” During the period between World War I and World War II, the United States pursued a largely isolationist foreign policy.

Concept note-3: -Which most accurately characterizes the policy followed by the United States in the years between WWI and WWII? Geographic seperation of the US from Europe provides less protection than in the past. What lesson does the example of Vernon Baker demonstrate about the U.S. military during WWII?

Concept note-4: -When WWI began in Europe in 1914, many Americans wanted the United States to stay out of the conflict, supporting President Woodrow Wilson’s policy of strict and impartial neutrality. “The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name during these days that are to try men’s souls.

Concept note-5: -When war broke out in Europe in 1914 President Wilson declared that the United States would follow a strict policy of neutrality. This was a product of a longstanding idea at the heart of American foreign policy that the United States would not entangle itself with alliances with other nations.
