#neutrality acts

[my-r3visi0n-blog]

Explain why Congress passed the Neutrality Acts in the years 1935 to 1937.

Congress did not want to engage in hostilities and be drawn into a European war

Traditional foreign policy was to remain isolationist

To stop American travelling on ships of warring nations

To stop firms supplying arms to belligerents

To stop bankers giving out loans to nations at war.

The link:

Congress wanted to keep out of another war and they felt compelled to keep the USA neutral through a series of laws based on traditional foreign policy

Also: For hw, we have to write an editorial about whether or not the embargo portion of the Neutrality Acts should be revised. One of my friends came up with the idea for me to write one editorial saying that they should, and then write another responding to the first editorial.

I'm going to have so much fun with this.
