Question

how did the united states demonstrate its isolationist policy before world war ii?
○ by avoiding alliances and other international relationships
○ by encouraging alliances and international relationships
○ by avoiding friendships with other foreign countries
○ by encouraging independence among states in the us

Explanation:

Isolationist policy in this context refers to avoiding deep international entanglements. The U.S. pursued this pre-WWII by steering clear of formal alliances and close international commitments that could draw it into foreign conflicts. The other options contradict isolationism (encouraging alliances) or are irrelevant (U.S. state independence, overly broad "avoiding friendships" rather than formal entanglements).

Answer:

A. by avoiding alliances and other international relationships
