Antiwar slogan

The following is me (05389442 original):

The United States has been pursuing the foreign policy of "isolationism" from independence to world hegemony after World War II. What is isolationism? To put it bluntly, it is another kind of "behind closed doors." Militarily, it only carries out partial defense, tries not to participate in multilateral cooperation in diplomacy, and reduces its dependence on international trade in economy. Anti-war factions are those who pursue "isolationism".

Due to its unique geographical advantages, the United States can stay out of most wars. After the founding of the People's Republic of China, only the US-Mexico War (seizing Texas and New Mexico) and the attack on Pearl Harbor hit the United States. So Americans are not interested in war. The first president, Washington, put forward: "The United States is alone and far away from other countries. This geographical location allows and urges the United States to pursue a unique diplomatic line, so that belligerents cannot benefit from the United States and dare not easily risk provoking the United States. " So to put it simply, the essence of "isolationism" is not to fight, not to be involved in European wars, and not to be enemies with other countries.

Especially in the early 20th century, the American economy entered a stage of rapid development, and "isolationism" became more prevalent. But at this time, with the improvement of American national strength, the United States wants to participate in international affairs more and more (as does China), and the contest between "multilateralism" and "isolationism" put forward by Wilson begins, which is also the contest between hawks and anti-war factions. In the end, the United States took part in World War I.

Closer to home, during World War II, due to the cruelty of World War I and the fact that the United States did not get much bonus at the Paris Peace Conference, the anti-war sentiment in the United States rose from the people to Congress and put forward the slogan: "Why should we bleed for Europeans?" After several efforts, Roosevelt reluctantly passed the lease bill and gave support to the allies in weapons and equipment. At this time, the anti-war representatives were mainly some congressmen and Roosevelt's rival thomas dewey. In the end, the "Pearl Harbor Incident" completely broke isolationism, and the people's strong desire for revenge forced the anti-war faction to bow. Therefore, there is also speculation that the "Pearl Harbor Incident" was deliberately arranged by Roosevelt to urge the United States to participate in the war.
