Drawing from BOTH class lectures and outside readings, discuss the evolution of American foreign policy from the late nineteenth century through the end of the 1920s. What were America's foreign policy objectives during these years, and how did these objectives change, if at all? What threats from abroad (perceived or otherwise) did the nation face during this period, and how, specifically, did it respond? Finally, based on your understanding of both lectures and our assigned textbook chapters, in what ways did these changing foreign policy currents help shape life in 1920s-era America? In other words, how might events abroad help us understand the dramatic changes American society underwent during this tumultuous decade? Please provide specific examples in making your case.
