3. describe the league of nations' response to the rise of dictators and the outbreak of war.

As the depression swept through the United States it also laid waste to the continent of Europe. America wrapped itself in the cocoon of isolationism and took a rather dim view of the affairs of Europe. We were concerned about preserving our way of life but little did we know that the greatest threat to the American way of life lie in the continent we so casually regarded. As America embraced democracy and a modified capitalism many European turned to fascism and aggression. The rise of dictators in Europe had a profound impact on the world order. Fascist leaders promised their citizens prosperity through aggression. Militarism relieved psychological depression by promising world domination and power as well was economic relief by employing millions in the production of military hardware. The question was, how would the world respond? Would the fear of war outweigh the hard choices required to pursue peace? Would the actions of these dictators be challenged? These were the questions that had to be asked as America and the world entered a new era. It would only be a matter of time before America would be forced to respond.   The Road to War

the correct answer is history and tradition.
