It is commonplace that domestic politics influences American foreign policy. Illustrate this by showing how domestic considerations influenced major foreign policy decisions between 1920 and 1940
Consider especially the Good Neighbor Policy, recognition of the Soviet Union, and the Neutrality Acts.
Both presidents Hoover and Roosevelt believed friendlier relations with Latin American nations would open more doors to American trade as well as reduce tensions in the hemisphere as the European world geared for war. New opportunities for trade in a time of depression also lay behind Roosevelt's recognition of the Soviet Union in 1933. Disillusionment with World War I and the distractions of the depression help explain the Neutrality Acts and the prevailing isolationist mood of most Americans in the decades between the wars.
