question 103

Essay

In what ways did the Five-Power Naval Treaty, the Kellogg-Briand Pact, the Dawes Plan, and Stimson doctrine each fall short of ensuring American national security and peace and security in Europe and Asia? Do you agree with the suggestion of the text's authors that America's failure to join the League of Nations and its pursuit of a "sentimental," rather than a realist, foreign policy constituted seeking the benefits of peace without incurring the financial, military, diplomatic, and interventionist burdens a great power, such as the United States in the 1920s, should assume in order to preserve peace and security in the world?
