reflection for 3/16
Last Friday, Brian and I continued some research on the foreign policy of the United States and their isolationist ideals. After this we researched the policy of Appeasement in the English government. This was a policy of keeping out of every ones business. I think this has a very big effect on how hitler was allowed to become so powerful and his authority went unchecked by other governments for so long.

Hey Liam, I fully agree when you say that the U.S isolationists ideas contributed to Hitler's rise to power. I feel that Hitler's timing was nearly perfect in every kind of way. Coming off of WWI many countries were in a slump and many were in debt. They did not want to get involved in another world war. That combined with Germany being heavily blamed for WWI gave Hitler his chance. This allowed him to gain the trust of Germans by giving them a sense of confidence. With a country backing him and all other countries in hiding, it allowed Hitler to build his incredible army. He slipped under the radar.
