American foreign policy in the 1920s continued to follow Wilson's internationalism tradition, and, as a result, the United States intervened overseas to address human rights violations and provide economic assistance to less-advanced nations.

(A) True

(B) False

The correct answer is (B) False.

Explanation:

American foreign policy between 1920 and 1932 was focused on the problem of war debts, the reparations demanded from Germany and on the US effort to obtain international cooperation to ensure world peace. The allied countries in World War I had incurred heavy debts with the United States but, given the inability to pay them, the US Congress created a special commission to negotiate these debts that were considerably reduced. See War Reparations. During the period from 1920 to 1932, the United States attempted to achieve world peace in three ways: by promoting a policy of arms limitation, agreeing with France a pact in which war was renounced as a political instrument and cooperating with the League of Nations. The United States participated in four international conferences on arms limitation: the Washington Conference (1921-1922), the Geneva Conference (1927), the London Naval Conference and the World Disarmament Conference in 1932. The Briand-Kellog Pact (1928) meant the renunciation of war as a means to resolve differences between countries; It was ratified in 1929 by the Senate. Although the United States refused to enter the League of Nations in 1920, it collaborated during the next 12 years with it in its efforts to achieve a permanent world peace.
