The Neutrality Acts of the 1930s reflect the efforts of Congress to:
A
reject the terms of the Kellogg-Briand Pact
B
avoid foreign policy mistakes that led the country into World War I
C
form military alliances with other democratic nations
D
strengthen the American military against European dictators
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The Neutrality Acts were laws passed in 1935, 1936, 1937, and 1939 to limit U.S. involvement in future wars. They were based on the widespread disillusionment with World War I in the early 1930s and the belief that the United States had been drawn into the war through loans and trade with the Allies.

Detailed explanation-2: -The Act lifted the arms embargo and put all trade with belligerent nations under the terms of “cash-and-carry.” The ban on loans remained in effect, and American ships were barred from transporting goods to belligerent ports.

Detailed explanation-3: -Following two months of debate, Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act, meeting Great Britain’s deep need for supplies and allowing the United States to prepare for war while remaining officially neutral.
