The End of Isolation. In 1938, in Munich, the
British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain made
a deal with Adolph Hitler allowing Nazi Germany
to annex Czechoslovakia’s Sudetenland. Hailed as
a hero for his diplomacy at the time, Chamberlain
is now widely reviled for his policy of
“appeasement” to Nazi aggression. Yet one year
later, Chamberlain would lead Britain into war
against Germany in defense of Poland once it
became clear that appeasement had failed. By
contrast, the US did little to halt Hitler’s initial
expansion, and entered into the war only
gradually, attempting, until attacked directly, to
sway the outcome without going to war itself.
Never again would the US remain so aloof for so

2. long from such a momentous international affair.
As such, the Second World War represents a
turning point in American foreign affairs, and it is
perhaps hard for us to understand why the US took
so long to take effective action against the Axis
Powers.
Using the primary sources listed below, explore
the evolution of American foreign policy over the
course of the 1930s. What arguments were made
in favor of isolationism? How and why did
America’s isolationist stance erode entering into
the 1940s?
After considering how America entered into the
war, review the war’s impact on the United States.
Address the changes which the war effected on
American society generally, along with its specific
impact on Japanese Americans, African
Americans, women, and servicemen. What role
did these groups play in the war? How lasting
were the changes brought about by the war for
these groups? In your response, draw from
material from at least THREE of the following
documents and videos:
a. World War II: The road to war
b. World War II: The world at war

3. c. Des Moines speech
d. The Nye report
e. Address of the President delivered by radio from
the White House
f. Neutrality act
g. Neutrality act
h. Lend-lease act
