A sea route to Asia across North America  ( A )

Explanation:

The Northwest passage is the sea route that leads the sea to the pacific ocean and it connects the Atlantic ocean with the pacific ocean through the Canadian Arctic archipelago( north America ). the eastern route that passes through the arctic ares of Norway and Siberia is considered as part of  the northwest passage.

The Northwest passage have always been impossible to navigate after its discovery by explorers because it is always frozen i.e the sea was always iced for the whole year.

It was navigated for the first time from 1903 to 1906 by a Norwegian explorer

Roald Amunsden. and it served as a route to Asia from North America for ships who didn't require an ice breaker to navigate through. and this was the main purpose of the explorers.

isolationism is a doctrine practiced by the united states for much of its history with the aim of not intervening in external affairs that did not pose a real threat to their country. the united states managed to maintain a state of political isolation throughout the nineteenth century and the first part of the xx. few nations have been able to maintain such a position for such a long period of time. historians argue that it is largely due to geographical reasons, given the physical distance between europe and the usa. uu the venataja of this situation is that the national state can spend its resources in satisfying all the needs of its inhabitants, without the need to invest in armament and equipment for a war that does not directly affect the country.

between the two modes of relations between states, i prefer the first, since i believe it is of the utmost importance to satisfy the needs of citizens and work for their development and as a last option to act on the international level.
