Answer 1

Answer: In 1937, President Franklin Roosevelt's "quarantine" speech saw the president call for further isolation from the nation's enemies.

Explanation:

President Roosevelt's speech was given in Chicago where he called for an "international quarantine" against the " epidemic of word lawlessness" by nations who were aggressive in opossition to America's neutrality during those years and the non-intervention policy. The speech caused protest by non-interventionists and their detractors and intensified the isolation mood in America. Even though Roosevelt did not mentioned any country in particular it was supposed that he reffered to the Empire of Japan, the Nazi Germany and the Kingdom of Italy.
