The author remains detached and tries to focus on stating the facts of American foreign policy in order to examine it objectively.For my subject, I particularly utilized sources on American foreign policy from 1920-1941.Reasons are stated and the aftermath of World War I is discussed, as well as the Isolationist Policy of the 1930’s.The events leading directly up to World War II and American’s entrance into the war are also portrayed.
