My 3rd Period Diplomatic Timeline by Mark Reindl https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia Made with a desire for peace. en-us 2022-02-10 15:37:23 UTC 2023-03-30 14:19:18 UTC hello@padlet.com US Fails to Ratify Treaty of Versailles (Isolationist) mark_reindl https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2040527255 Description:  In 1919, Woodrow Wilson negotiated the Treaty of Versailles with the other Allied Powers to end World War I.  When he left the US, he represented his Fourteen Points as the basis for the peace plan.  However, the Allies were more interested in revenge than peace.  Ultimately, the only major portion of the Fourteen Points that made it into the Treaty was the League of Nations.  However, when Wilson returned to the US, he sent the treaty to the Senate for approval, and some senators opposed it completely, while others opposed Article X, which required the US to go to war if/when the League demanded it, taking that power out of the hands of Congress.  Wilson was unwilling to compromise on the treaty, and so it was rejected.  The US never signed the treaty, nor did it join the League of Nations.

Isolationist or Internationalist?  
This event is an example of isolationism, because the US Senate rejected joining a world organization to guarantee post-war peace, and made its own separate treaty with German several years later.

President Roosevelt addressed the nation and a joint session of Congress on the following day, December 8th, 1941.  In his speech, he referred to December 7th as a "Day of Infamy", and asked Congress for a declaration of war against Japan.

Isolationist or internationalist?

This is an example of internationalism.  The US Congress voted to declare war.  The vote was 82-0 in the Senate, and 388-1 in the House.  The only person to vote against the declaration of war was Representative Jeannette Rankin  of Montana, who was a pacifist.  Rankin had also been in Congress when war was declared against Germany in 1917, and she voted against that declaration as well.

The attack and Day of Infamy speech united the nation and dedicated it to winning the war.]]> 2022-02-10 15:37:23 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2040527257 The Selective Service Act of 1940 (Internationalist) https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2040958865 Description: On September 16, 1940, signed by president Franklin D. Roosevelt, America implemented the Selective Training and Service Act, which called for all young men between the ages of 21 to 45 to register for the war draft.

Isolationism or internationalist?

This would be an example of internationalism because despite the U.S. not being a combatant of the upcoming war and isolationism still being prevalent within the country, the fall of France was concerning enough to warrant war preparation as it seem inevitable that America would enter the war effort. With the preparation of the military and the conscription of so many soldiers, it is clear that America expected to be involved in international conflict rather than staying self contained like so many isolationists wanted.]]> 2022-02-10 18:50:19 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2040958865 Quarantine the Aggressor Speech (Oct. 5, 1937) bc0433 https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041004607 Description:
The speech given by FDR in 1937, "Quarantine the Aggressor" was intended to make America more internationalist, but was the subject of much controversy. In his speech, Roosevelt suggests that in order to stay out of wars, we must not make allies with other aggressive countries. He believed that some other nations are so unlike us: less freedom, more barbarous, that America, along with other like-minded countries, should "quarantine" the aggressive nations in order to maintain our own peace. 
Internationalism vs. Isolationism:
FDR's speech went against a lot of people's opinions on isolationism vs. internationalism. His suggestion to align themselves with similar nations against the more aggressive nations caused an uproar among non-internationalists who wanted to stay completely isolated from other nations. After WWI, the American people didn't want to go to war again, so there was much pushback from those groups. ]]> 2022-02-10 19:12:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041004607 Good Neighbor Policy 1933 https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041004812 Description: President Roosevelt talked about how it was a policy in which there was the encouragement of having friendly relations and having the mutual defense in the Nations in Latin America. (Western Hemisphere) This to be where the United States would be looking at the Nations in more peaceful ways. There is also how the United States wouldn't be in domestic affairs such as intervene. 

Isolationist or Internationalist?
This is an example of internationalism. President Roosevelt was looking at how military regimes in Italy and Germany were expanding in which he implemented this policy in which he hopes that the cooperation of Latin American Nations would be there if there is the potential danger of the Axis powers. ]]> 2022-02-10 19:12:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041004812 The Spanish Civil War (Isolationism) kr0838 https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041016728 Spain was divided between fascist groups, led by Francisco Franco, and republican loyalists, this division led to the Spanish Civil War. Although Roosevelt supported the loyalist group under the Neutrality Act America kept itself from involving them in Spains' affairs. This left the loyalist helpless against the fascists' attacks and eventually submitted to their cause allowing Francisco to establish a military dictatorship in Spain.

The committee found that bankers had pressured Wilson to intervene in the war in order to protect their loans abroad. 
This concluded that the WWl was fought for financial reasons and the U.S. should stay out of future foreign wars. 

Isolationism or Internationalism?

This committee would be an example of isolationism because this committee was within the U.S. and investigation the profit of U.S. arms factories.

Roosevelt wanted to help but did not want to anger the isolationists. He started by trading 50 destroyers. When he was re-elected he had a stronger to fully aid Britain so he passed the lend-lease act which allowed for Britain to buy/borrow from the U.S on credit.

This is and example of internationalist because the U.S previously did not fully aid Britain because that would outrage isolationists. He saw Hitler as a threat to the four freedoms and could no longer remain neutral. So he fully sided with Britain by helping with materials. This would then become a small involvement in the war because Roosevelt took a side]]> 2022-02-10 19:21:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041023057 Arsenal of Democracy Speech https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041026216 The speech was delievered on December 29, 1940. It was Roosevelts promise to help the United Kingdom fight Nazi Germany by selling military supplies. However, the United States stayed out of the actual fighting. - Sage Mendiburu ]]> 2022-02-10 19:23:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041026216 Washington Naval Conference (Internationalist) rc0953 https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041028326 Description: From November 12, 1921 to February 6, 1922 a disarmament conference was called by the United States and held in Washington DC. This conference was made to stop another world war by limiting the amount of naval each country they can have and various treaties were created in order to put in action these ideas. 

It was the first arms control conference in history. The  world's power naval powers gathered for a conference to discuss naval disarmament and ways to relieve growing tensions in East Asia. This conference negotiated the five-power treaty, the four-power treaty, and the nine-power treaty. These were the first ever naval disarmament treaties that practically limited the total tonnage and quality of capital ships and aircraft carriers possessed by great powers. Although, this affected them in a bad way because as the military was limited when Germany and Japan attacked they were not ready to defend and were weakened greatly.

(Internationalists)
This conference was an internationalist act by the United States because the US interfered with other nation's armies. The treaties that they agreed on with Japan, China, France, Britain, Italy, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Portugal show how they interfered with other countries in order to have a peaceful relationship with them.

Goal: Between 1935 and 1937 congress passed 3 neutrality acts that tried to keep the U.S out of the war by making it illegal for americans to sell or transport arms, or other war materials to belligerent Nations.

Isolationist or Internationalist?
The Neutrality Act of 1937 was defined as isolationism, because the acts represented a compromise where the U.S government accommodated the isolationist sediment of the american public, but also kept some interaction with the world. The act forbid the U.S to sell weapons to countries at war. It also forbid americans from joining military forces for other countries at war, and from traveling on ships operated by countries that were engaged in the war.]]> 2022-02-10 19:24:49 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041029410 The Atlantic Charter - August 9-12 & 14, 1941 (Internationalist) https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041033376 Description: On August 9-12, 1941, Winston Churchill and FDR met in New Newfoundland to discuss plans during and after the war. They stated that after the war was over, the people of a nation has the right to create their own government. They also discussed that the United States and the United Kingdom doesn't want territorial gains because it was unneeded. 

On August 14, 1941, FDR and Churchill published a book called The Atlantic Charter which was basically a summary of the Atlantic Conference. 

Isolationist or Internationalist?
This is an example of internationalism because people could tell that FDR meeting with Churchill to discuss post war things meant that FDR had plans to go to war. He believed that Germany had to be stopped, but couldn't declare war without reasoning why to break America away from isolationism. ]]> 2022-02-10 19:26:53 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041033376 Neutrality Act Of 1937 (Internationalism) (Anyia Fernandez) https://padlet.com/mark_reindl/6kdekj1v18fvf5ia/wish/2041046123 Description: The Neutrality act of 1937 had contained an important concession to Roosevelt. The United States had to except anything as long as they paid for items and carried them to non-american ships, and they had tried to keep out of war by making it illegal for the Americans to transport or sell. 

President Franklin D Roosevelt had originally opposed Legislation, and had relented of strong Congressional opinions. On February 29, of 1936 congress had renewed the act until May of 1937 which had prohibited Americans loans to the nations. 

Isolationists or Internationalist? 
This example provided internationalism by the acts and how they had forbid the United States to sell weapons and countries at war, forbid the military forces for the countries, and had Americans travel onto ships that had countries being operated, and engaging for war. They had a belief that the United States had been into the war through loans and trades from the allies.
