Explain in What Way the Neutrality Acts of the 1930s

question 6

Essay

Explain in what way the Neutrality Acts of the 1930s "marked in effect an abandonment of the [United States'] traditional policy of freedom of the seas." How did the Neutrality Acts of the 1930s expressly contradict President Woodrow Wilson's insistence on maintaining America's neutral shipping rights two years before American entry into World War I? What do you believe accounts for this fundamental abandonment of the American government's traditional policy of upholding "freedom of the seas" as Fascism was on the rise worldwide less than twenty years after the conclusion of World War I?
