Rise to World Power: How and why did America's foreign policy change from 1921 - 1941?

Tasks: 

  • Debrief New Deal quiz.
  • Small group question #1: How did America's foreign policy change?
    • Group will use the timeline from homework to determine the way in which America's foreign policy changed.
    • Need an argument that moves beyond "It went from isolationist to interventionist."  This is not a sufficient answer because it is providing a very basic argument.
  • Small group question #2: Why did America's foreign policy change?
    • Group will generate reasons for why the U.S. policy shifts in the 1930s.
  • Small group question #3: Compare and contrast the road to war: WWI (1914 - 1917) and WWII (1939 - 1941).
    • Group will compare the Congressional actions, public debate, and declaration for war.  Focus should be on the years BEFORE the U.S. publicly declares war.

Reminders: 
  • AP Test Registration due March 8.
