select all that apply.
a reduce u.s. interference in other territories
b increase u.s. influence in the western hemisphere
c limit diplomatic relations with totalitarian governments
d promote diplomacy and trade with other nations

Explanation:

Franklin D. Roosevelt's first term (1933-1937) focused on reversing the interventionist "Big Stick" policies of prior administrations in the Americas (Good Neighbor Policy, reducing U.S. interference in Latin American territories). He also sought to boost U.S. influence in the Western Hemisphere through cooperative relations, and prioritized diplomatic engagement and trade to aid the U.S. recovery from the Great Depression. Totalitarian governments (like Nazi Germany, Soviet Union) still had formal U.S. diplomatic ties in this period, so limiting relations is incorrect.

Answer:

A. Reduce U.S. interference in other territories
B. Increase U.S. influence in the western hemisphere
D. Promote diplomacy and trade with other nations
