Thank you We sneak and here's your shmoop dooz your

brought to you by the league of nations the fantasy

00:08

sport of choice for diplomats everywhere All right take a

00:12

look at this excerpt in your present coming All right

00:20

And the question opponents of stimson's policies would most likely

00:24

have supported which of the following and hear the potential

00:27

answers ratifying All right well what exactly is this question

00:32

asking stimson's policies as described in his letter involved the

00:37

idea that the united states would not recognize any treaty

00:41

or agreement which may impair the treaty rights of the

00:45

united states So by simply not recognizing these treaties stimpson

00:49

advocated that us bury its head in the sand rather

00:52

than engage in any kind of international conflict So we

00:56

need to figure out which answer best describes a policy

00:58

that opponents of this idea would have supported Would opponents

01:03

of stimson's policies have supported be abstaining from involvement in

01:08

world war two Well abstaining from world war two meant

01:10

that you'd prefer to stay neutral in an international conflict

01:14

rather than get involved That sounds pretty similar to what

01:17

isolationists like stimpson would have wanted It's not b or

01:20

c could stimson's opponents have supported de refusing to take

01:26

a position in the spanish american war Well even with

01:29

conflicts involving the united states isolationists preferred to stay out

01:33

of the fray So this answer describe stimpson As well

01:37

That knocks out b which means opponents of stimson's policies

01:40

would have supported a ratifying the league of nations collective

01:44

security clause Exactly In nineteen twenty the senate rejected of

01:49

bill to join the league of nations since being a

01:51

part of the group would have required the us to

01:53

defend other members should they be attacked The senate wanted

01:57

to stay as far away from those conflict possible So

02:01

a is the right answer Stimpson may have been vocally

02:04

opposed to the idea of collective security But you know

02:07

it was probably just coming from a place of wealth 00:02:10.4 --> [endTime] collective insecurity
