Can someone please help with history (1920's)?

Question

I need to know the foreign affairs America had during the 1920's, thanks

Answer 1

During the 1920's under the guidance of the much maligned President Warren G Harding America embarked upon a bold if flawed experiment. Disarnament Conferences. Several times during the Decade America orchatrated a series of conferences intended to get nations to voluntarilly limit the number of naval ships they were planning to build, the sizes of weapons, etc, all in an effort to avoid a desperate naval arms race such as that of the late 1900's into the fourteen years of the 20th Century that culminated in World War One.

Financial disaster in Germany prompted America to once again attempt to arbitrate an international dispute.

Here are some links and words..

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Washington_Naval_Conference
""""The Washington Naval Conference was a diplomatic conference, called by the administration of President Warren G. Harding and held in Washington, D.C. from November 1921 to March 1922. Conducted outside the auspices of the League of Nations, it was attended by nine nations having interests in the Pacific Ocean and East Asia. Soviet Russia was not invited to the conference. It was the first international conference held in the United States and the first disarmament conference in history, and is studied by political scientists as a model for a successful disarmament movement. (Kaufman, 1990)""

"""II. International Disarmament and Peace Efforts\

"""Foreign Affairs. Harding displayed some of his best instincts by his appointment of the distinguished Charles Evans Hughes as secretary of state. Campaign equivocation was put aside and the administration boldly proclaimed its intention to steer clear of membership in the League of Nations — a clear step toward isolationism. However, a meaningful step was taken in the direction of international cooperation and arms reduction.
Reconciliation with Colombia (April 1921). The death of Theodore Roosevelt and the discovery of oil in Colombia motivated Republicans to make amends for backing the earlier Panamanian revolution.
World Court. The Harding administration sought full participation in this international body, but was blocked by isolationist forces in the Senate.
Peace with the Central Powers (July-August 1921). On assuming the presidency, Harding made it clear that the U.S. would not be a party to the Paris peace agreements; a formal end to the war came through a Congressional resolution and separate peace treaties.
Washington Naval Conference (1921-22). A series of treaties resulted from this international gathering, resulting in an ambitious effort to slow the naval arms race and restore stability to the Pacific.
War Debts and Reparations. Despite the U.S. contention that no relationship existed between war debts and reparations, evidence to the contrary was overwhelming. Efforts to collect during the 1920s soured international relations.
Central American Conference (1922-23). U.S. efforts to bring stability to Central America yielded few concrete results and most southern neighbors remained suspicious of U.S. intentions. ""

"""Foreign Affairs. Aided by two able secretaries of state, Coolidge pursued arms limitations efforts with the major powers and cooperated somewhat distantly with the League of Nations. In the Western Hemisphere, the administration took strong action to protect American lives and investments.

Foreign Service Act (May 1924). This measure merged related consular and diplomatic services and considerably improved the lot of career employees.
The Dawes Plan (April 1924). The U.S. vice president helped to craft a plan for annual German installment payments of reparations, but avoided the more troublesome issue of the total amount owed.
U.S.-Dominican Relations. A U.S.-imposed goverment, dating from the Wilson administration, remained in control until 1924, but economic constraints remained until 1940.
The World Court. Senate Irreconcilables blocked U.S. adherence to the Court by attaching reservations to a resolution.
Geneva Conference (Summer 1927). A failed arms reduction effort led to U.S. resumption of naval construction programs.
Kellogg-Briand Pact (August 1928). Public opinion and the press lauded the multilateral effort to outlaw war; seasoned politicians, however, were not optimistic.
U.S.-Mexican Relations. A new Mexican constitution in 1917 heralded refom, but U.S. business interests opposed a lessening of their ownership rights. Loose talk of war was heard, but diplomacy prevailed in the end.
U.S.-Nicaraguan Relations. A long-term U.S. military presence in Nicaragua persisted due to Coolidge's dedication to preserving stability and American investments in the area.
Clark Memorandum (December 1928). A State Department undersecretary prepared a position paper that advanced a more restrained interpretation of the Monroe Doctrine. It would later be published by the Hoover administration in an effort to improve relations with Latin America.
The Young Plan (1929). Coolidge began the process of refashioning the German reparations formula; the new plan would be completed by the incoming Hoover administration. ""

Answer 2

The United States turned inward after WW1 and did not do much in the area of Foreign affairs. The country was shocked at the reports from returning vetrans about the horrors of trench warfare in Europe.
Many felt that we had been sucked into a war that we had no business being in and that we had bailed the Allies out in the war.
Afterwards, we wanted nothing to do with European affairs.
Congress was not in favor of our joining the League of Nations, which doomed that organization, and it took a long time for us to ratify the Treaty of Versailles, which has ended the war.
America was more concerned with developing our position as an industrial giant. Economically we were on the verge of becoming the world's economic superpower and that was what drove American politics in the 20's. Europe was, for the most part, in economic shambles after the war and it was felt that this was their problem and we should concentrate on our economy, which boomed during this time.
President Harding had no time for foreign affairs as he presided over one of the most corrupt administrations in the country's history. Many of his advisors and cabinet members enriched thier own pockets with domestic scandals.
President Coolidge had very little interest in foreign affairs when he was president in the mid 20's. He was more interested in keeping the status quo, which was- concentrate on America and leave Europe and Asia alone.
A visible indicator of the lack of interest in foreign affairs was the reduction in our military forces. The thinking was, "If we are not going to be involved in any more foreign wars, we can reduce our military down to the size needed to just protect our country."
And that is exactly what happened.
When Hoover became president in 28, it was not too long till the Great Depression hit. Then there was definitely no interest in foreign affairs as the govt. tried desperately to keep the country from falling apart economically.
