?Neutrality Act 1935- This act was pushed by Roosevelt in 1935 to keep the US out of the war. The US was not supposed to have a side in the new emerging conflicts and could not engage in weapons trades with the nations at war. This also took away the right of citizens to travel on war sided ships. The US did not want to lose its dominance in oil and gave up the ability to affect other foreign policies. This proved that pre- WWII, the US, was not very imperialist. They did not want to concur, win, or control the world platform without fixing domestic issues. This set up a framework for the US in the years?

On May 14, 1948, President Truman made a decision that would effect United States foreign policy to this day when he recognized the Jewish state of Israel, despite the fact that one Saudi Arabian leader had threatened that if Israel was to be created, the Arabs would ?lay siege to it until it died of famine.? Truman recognized Israel to keep potential Soviet influence out of the state. By recognizing Israel, America strained its relationship with the oil-rich OPEC nations in the Middle East. On October 6, 1973 (on the Jewish holy day Yom Kippur), the Syrians and the Egyptians launched a surprise attack on Israel to recover the lands that they had lost in the Six-Day War of 1967.
