D.

Explanation:

A. The United States did not have a superiority in technology before World War II. The reason the United States did not need a large ground force was that the US was protected by two vast oceans preventing invasions by outside forces.

B. Sadly the Congress refused to honor the League of Nations agreements of President Wilson. The United States was not part of the League of Nations and had no involvement with the League of Nations.

C. Politically the United States was isolationists. The people of the United States wanted to avoid involvement in another world war. No presidents advocated for a build up of the military.

D. Is correct. After World War I the military had been greatly reduced. America saw no need for a strong military given the attitude toward isolationism. The Great Depression limited the financial resources of the United States. The military being a low priority got neglected.
