APUSH Unit 11 (World War 2) test review

Franklin Roosevelt undermined the London Economic Conference because

• its members insisted on rigid adherence to the gold standard

• any agreement to stabilize national currencies might hurt America's recovery from the Great Depression

• such an agreement would involve the United States militarily with the League of Nations

• the delegates refused to work on reviving international trade

One internationalist action by Franklin D. Roosevelt in his first term in office was

• the formal recognition of the Soviet Union

• joining the League of Nations

• establishing military bases in China

• his support of the Tydings-McDuffie Act

Roosevelt's recognition of the Soviet Union was undertaken partly

• in order to win support from American Catholics

• because the Soviet leadership seemed to be modifying its harsher communist policies

• in hope of developing a diplomatic counterweight to the rising power of Japan and Germany

• to import grain from the Ukraine for Americans left hungry from the Great Depression

President Franklin Roosevelt embarked on the Good Neighbor policy in part because

• he perceived this new policy as a logical extension of his cousin Theodore Roosevelt's Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine

• Congress had repealed the Monroe Doctrine

• he was eager to enlist Latin American allies to defend the Western Hemisphere against European dictators

• the policy was part of the neutrality stance taken by the United States

As part of his Good Neighbor policy toward Latin America, President Roosevelt developed more generous policies of

• encouraging Mexican immigration into the United States

• removing American controls on Haiti, Cuba, and Panama

• supporting Latin American strongmen in Argentina and Brazil

• moving Puerto Rico toward its independence

The 1934 Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act

• raised America's tariff schedule

• inhibited President Roosevelt's efforts to implement his Good Neighbor policy

• increased America's foreign trade by reducing onerous tariff rates

• was most strongly opposed in the South and West

Fascist aggression in the 1930's included Mussolini's invasion of ________, Hitler's invasion of _______, and Franco's overthrow of the republican government of ______.

• Egypt; France; Poland

• Albania; Italy; Austria

• Ethiopia; Czechoslovakia; Spain

• Ethiopia; Norway; Portugal

By the mid-1930's, there was strong nationwide agitation for a constitutional amendment to

• prohibit excessive profits from being made off of arms sales to foreign countries

• forbid a declaration of war by Congress unless first approved by a popular referendum

• remove the power to declare war from Congress and grant it to the president

• require the president to gain Congressional approval before sending US troops overseas

America's fervent isolationism in the 1930's can best be attributed to

• their regrets about participating in WWI

• the failure of most Americans to appreciate the gravity of the prospective threat to American national security posed by the militaristic, expansionist forces being harnessed during the 1930's by the Fascist dictators of Germany, Japan, and Italy

• the impact of the Great Depression and the need to focus on getting out of it

• all of these choices are correct

Liberal and left-wing Americans reacted to General Franco's efforts to stage a Fascist coup and overthrow the Republic in Spain by

• supporting Franco and his rebels

• recruiting thousands of men and women as volunteers to fight Franco in the Abraham Lincoln Brigade

• renouncing their American citizenship when the US government decided to remain strictly neutral in the Spanish Civil War

• meekly accepting and following the neutrality policy of the US government concerning the Spanish Civil War
