Charles F. Carusi has written: 'The first armed neutrality' -- subject(s): Neutrality
There were 3 neutrality acts. The first one was in 1935, the second in 1936, and the third in 1937. Neutrality act of 1935-no shipment to countries at war. Neutrality act of 1936-no loans to countries at war. Neutrality act of 1937-no arms to opposing sides of the Spanish Civil War.
The prevailing thought was that the US adopted the policy of Isolationism. However, it's more likely they adopted instead the policy of non-intervention, where it chose not to take a side, but actively mediate for peace. That did not last as the war went on, and they entered the war on 1917, taking the side of the Allies.

When Japan became aggressive in the years leading up to World War II, America followed a policy of isolationism at first. However, after Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the US entered the war and adopted a policy of total war against Japan, seeking to defeat them completely.
At first the U.S. believed the war in Europe was not their concern. By late 1914, however, the U.S. began to change its stance. This was due to unrestricted targeting of both British and American ships by German U-boats. The U.S. then began a policy of secretly aiding the British until they formally entered World War 1.
