Answer:

Roosevelt vs Wilson

Explanation:

In the coming of war years (1937-1941) President Roosevelt tried to avoid repeating what he saw as Woodrow Wilson´s mistakes in W.W. I

So as a consequence his policy very often was the opposite of Wilson´s:

1. Where Wilson spoke of neutrality Roosevelt favored Britain and China.

2. Instead of loans in W.W. I there were grants of military and economic aid to the Allies through Lend Lease.

3. Wilson never made the U.S. an official ally; Roosevelt did and had a very active and collaborative policy (the diferent meetings during the war with the Allies underline this).

In general we can argue that his policy reflected the importancy of an active role in this conflict by the most powerful state, so that democratic values, national security and economics were protected in a global way.
