b. a decline in the navy and other armed forces

i don't understand? I know its definately not "a" and i did a google search already and they were all pretty confusing so I was wondering if anybody here definately knew?
it is definitely not E it isb because our armed forces never decreased during this time
No problem! I can help you analyze this question.
To determine the correct answer, we need to understand the purpose and effects of the Neutrality Acts of 1935, 1936, and 1937 in the United States.
The primary purpose of these acts was to ensure that the United States remained neutral and did not get involved in conflicts between other countries. These acts imposed a series of restrictions and regulations on the United States' ability to trade arms and provide assistance to nations at war.
Now let's examine each option and see which one does not align with the outcomes of the Neutrality Acts:
a. Abandonment of the traditional policy of freedom of the seas: The Neutrality Acts did not impact the traditional policy of freedom of the seas, so this option could be correct.
b. A decline in the navy and other armed forces: The Neutrality Acts did not specifically lead to a decline in the navy and other armed forces, so this option could be correct.
c. Making no distinction whatever between aggressors and victims: This option aligns with the intent of the Neutrality Acts, as they aimed to stay neutral and not favor any side, so this option could be incorrect.
d. Spurring aggressors along their path of conquest: The Neutrality Acts aimed to prevent the United States from providing assistance to any belligerent nations, so this option aligns with the intended effects of these acts, so this option could be incorrect.
e. Balancing scales between dictators and US allies by trading with neither: The Neutrality Acts restricted the United States' ability to trade or assist any nations at war, so this option aligns with the intended effects of these acts, so this option could be incorrect.
Based on the analysis, options (a) "abandonment of the traditional policy of freedom of the seas," (b) "a decline in the navy and other armed forces," and (e) "balancing scales between dictators and US allies by trading with neither" could potentially be the correct answer.
However, since your question asks for the option that was NOT a result of the Neutrality Acts, the correct answer would be (c) "making no distinction whatever between aggressors and victims." The Neutrality Acts aimed to stay neutral and not differentiate between aggressors and victims.
