APUSH Interwar Foreign Policy Multiple Choice Practice

Topic 7.11 in the AP US History Course and Exam Description addresses Interwar Foreign Policy. One of the key understandings students must have to answer questions about this topic is to understand that while the American public was concerned about the rise of totalitarian regimes, such as Nazi Germany, most Americans opposed direct involvement in the war until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

The America First Committee

The America First Committee was an interest group organized in 1940 by Americans who were against intervention in World War II. America First rallies featured celebrity speakers, such as Charles Lindbergh, the first pilot to make a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean. Lindbergh's vocal advocacy of neutrality helped to harden American public opinion against entering the war until the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. The America First Committee dissolved itself within days of the Pearl Harbor attack, with Lindbergh and other leaders expressing their patriotic support for the war effort.

I have created a practice stimulus-based multiple choice question set featuring an excerpt from one of Charles Lindbergh's speeches. This should be helpful in preparing AP US History students for questions that they might encounter on the exam regarding Interwar foreign policy prior to Pearl Harbor. This is one of fifteen topics from Period 7 of the APUSH course that is subject to assessment.
