the quotation is from senator henry cabot lodge in 1919.
\the united states is the worlds best hope, but... if you tangle her in the interests of europe, you will destroy her powerful good, and endanger her very existence.\
based on the quotation, which best reflects lodges view of post - war international relations?
the united states should reject the treaty of versailles in order to avoid being trapped in alliances.
america has a duty to protect the nations who were granted their independence in the treaty of versailles.
signing the treaty of versailles is best for the united states as it separates the western hemisphere from european affairs.
german reparations must be harsh in order to ensure the nation cannot become more powerful than america in future conflicts

Explanation:

En la cita, Lodge expresa que envolver a EE. UU. en los asuntos europeos (lo que implicaría alianzas, ya que el Tratado de Versalles incluía la Sociedad de las Naciones, una organización que podía obligar a los países a intervenir en conflictos internacionales) destruiría el "poderoso bien" de EE. UU. y pondría en peligro su existencia. Esto sugiere que rechazar el Tratado de Versalles (que incluía la Sociedad de las Naciones) para evitar alianzas restrictivas es su postura.

Answer:

The United States should reject the Treaty of Versailles in order to avoid being trapped in alliances.
