The Depression caused the United States to retreat further into its post-World War I isolationism. A series of significant international incidents created several international crises. These incidents included Japan's seizure of northeast China in 1931, the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935, and German expansionism in Central and Eastern Europe. Despite these incidents, the United States refused to engage in the crises in a meaningful way. When these and other incidents occurred, the United States Government issued statements of disapproval but took limited action beyond that.
