1. how did fdr try to move americans out of their isolationism?

he fought the neutrality acts passed by congress.
he tried to make friendly nations sympathetic to americans.
he insisted that they had a role to play in world affairs.
he found ways around the neutrality acts passed by congress.

Explanation:

FDR recognized rising global tensions but faced strong isolationist sentiment in the U.S. Instead of directly fighting the Neutrality Acts, he used loopholes (like Lend-Lease later, and early measures to aid allies without direct U.S. combat) to gradually shift U.S. away from isolation. The other options are incorrect: he did not openly fight the Neutrality Acts initially, his focus was on U.S. engagement not just making nations sympathetic, and he framed action subtly rather than just insisting on a world role.

Answer:

D. He found ways around the Neutrality Acts passed by Congress.
