What conflicting visions did Americans offer in response to the expansionist drives of Germany and Japan? How did these visions influence the American path to war?

What will be an ideal response?


American interventionists wanted to use military force to restrain German and Japanese imperialism. American non-interventionists thought that the purpose of the U.S. military was national defense and that what one foreign country did to another is not a U.S. concern. American policy remained non-interventionist, but the U.S. tried to use a military buildup as a warning to Japan's aggression. The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was a response to this buildup, and America's entry into the war was a response to this attack.
