Question

one consequence of world war ii was that the united states a. returned to its isolationist tendencies b. avoided foreign conflicts c. remained deeply involved in world affairs d. reduced its military spending

Explanation:

After World War II, the U.S. abandoned pre-war isolationism. It led the creation of global institutions like the UN, NATO, and engaged in post-war reconstruction (e.g., Marshall Plan), while increasing military spending to counter Soviet influence, remaining deeply involved in global affairs. Options A, B, and D are incorrect: the U.S. did not return to isolationism, did not avoid foreign conflicts (e.g., Korean War soon followed), and did not reduce military spending.

Answer:

C. remained deeply involved in world affairs
