Answer 1

1. A.2. A.3. D.

Answer 2

Regarding question 1, Adolf Hitler's rise to power prior to World War II was largely due to a mixture of factors such as political instability, the impact of the Treaty of Versailles and the economic depression following it, and Hitler's charisma and mastery of propaganda. But the primary element facing Hitler's rise specifically informed by options such as A and B. In question 2, assessing the quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt's shows us that during the initial onset of the Nazi movements, America adhered to a policy of neutrality through the viewpoint of isolationalism. For question 3, one can understand that after an embargo on petroleum and Japanese funds freezing, Japan retaliated against the U.S by attacking Pearl Harbor, which is a highly guaranteed response after historical contingencies.
