Question

which three factors explain why the us wanted to remain neutral in world war i?
○ ethnic diversity, trade, and pacifism
○ ethnic diversity, famine, and immigration
○ trade, economic depression, and ethnic diversity
○ trade, economic concerns, and pacifism

Explanation:

To determine the correct answer, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: Ethnic diversity was a factor, but pacifism and trade alone don't fully align with the main reasons. The US had economic concerns beyond just trade.
• Option 2: Famine and immigration were not primary factors for US neutrality in WWI.
• Option 3: Economic depression was not a factor during WWI for US neutrality (the Great Depression was later).
• Option 4: The US wanted to trade with both sides (trade), had economic concerns about the impact of war on its economy (economic concerns), and many Americans held pacifist views, wanting to avoid war (pacifism). These three factors accurately explain US neutrality.

Answer:

D. trade, economic concerns, and pacifism
