Foreign policy varies between isolationism and internationalism. Isolationism means a country keeping to their own borders. Internationalism means a country works with other countries. 

Following World War I, the US attempted to return to a form of isolationism. They were wanting to keep out of European affairs and formed world agreements to keep out of the war. Until the attack on Pearl Harbor, the US would attempt to maintain neutrality. Franklin Roosevelt passed neutrality act in 1935, 37, and 39 stating the US could not engage in trade with warring nations. 

Answer:

B. dominated U.S. policy in the years immediately following World War I  

C. contributed to American neutrality in the early years of World War II

Explanation:

Isolationism is a doctrine practiced by the United States during a large part of its history with the objective of not intervening in external affairs that did not pose a real threat to their country. The United States managed to maintain a state of political isolation throughout the 19th century and the first part of the 20th. Few nations have been able to maintain such a position for such a long period of time. Historians argue that it is largely due to geographical reasons, given the physical distance between Europe and the USA. UU

The beginning of the twentieth century brought with it problems that occurred in Europe and the Pacific, and this would end in large part with the isolationist feelings of the United States. The annexation of the Philippine Islands during the Hispano-American War of 1898 displaced US interests to the western Pacific Ocean, at the gates of Japan. USA UU he did not know how to perceive the threats against his position of neutrality. This caused the submarine war of Germany during the First World War, whose objective was to avoid the arrival of supplies towards the British Empire. When the war ended, EE. UU he forgot his new alliances; both the Treaty of Versailles and the League of Nations found little support from Congress.
