The Global Crisis 1921

The document summarizes international events from 1921 to 1941. During this period, the US initially pursued isolationist policies but gradually moved towards intervention in European affairs. Key events included Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931, Germany rearming and annexing Austria and Czechoslovakia in the late 1930s, and the outbreak of World War 2 in 1939 following Germany's invasion of Poland. The US supported Allies through cash and carry and lend-lease programs but remained neutral until 1941, when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor and the US entered the war.
