The Political Cartoon from the Chicago Tribune illustartes how countries are creating alliances and this is something the USA does not support (doc 4). Also, the USA wants to preserve its peoples peace and does not want global conflict (doc 2). Compared to other nations, the USA knows that its ideals and wants are quite distinct from other countries so in order to maintain their sovernity and freedom, they decided not to join. ]]> 2022-03-08 18:37:02 UTC https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084618260 anthonyherrera1 https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084619883 2022-03-08 18:37:53 UTC https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084619883 https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084620045 ~brisseis]]> 2022-03-08 18:37:59 UTC https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084620045 https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084620167 Although some people in the U.S. agreed with Wilsons idea to have a league of Nations, others believed that it would bring problems to the U.S. The cartoon showing America marrying the foreign entanglements creates the idea that America is going to take on foreign problems(Doc 4).

According to William Borah, leader of the Irreconcilables, Borah favored self-government and the United States's right to govern themselves, away from foreign powers and further restraints.

Opposingly, a interventionist in terms of US history would be one who is in best favor of getting involved with other country affairs, like passing the LON to stay more connected with other countries. ]]> 2022-03-08 18:40:57 UTC https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084625418 npatel77 https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084625906 An isolationist would be against foreign alliances while an interventionist would be in favor of a foreign alliance.

Why aim to create peace and unity and motivate other countries to join but you (USA) chooses not to join? The USA itself was involved in the war, and would be too in WW2, and contributed to the damage occuring in some ways, so it seems wrong for the USA to not want to be involved in a treaty where they can perservere peace and unity. This comes to show that yes, the USA wants to self rule, but it shows that they still believe that their own goverment is the right goverment and coming togethor with other countries would negativly impact their democracy. ]]> 2022-03-08 18:41:42 UTC https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084626808 https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084627830 ~brisseis :)]]> 2022-03-08 18:42:16 UTC https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084627830 https://padlet.com/hfeutz1/qnhx8agopszo66vr/wish/2084628906 Isolationists don't want to participate in foreign affairs or problems and want to be fully independent from the rest of the world unlike interventionalists, who want to interfere with foreign issues and help find a solution.
