The attitude of Americans toward the rest of the world starting before the great war was that of isolationism. This was further affirmed after the horrible casualties, including the living who returned with psychological (shell shock) and physical scars. The years leading up to WWII the feelings of isolationism were increased due to the Stock Market crash. There were even pro-Nazi sentiments and a Nazi party formed.
Many people felt the British were trying to drag the Americans into "their" war. The Lend-Lease act provided the UK with American materiel in exchange for rights to British claimed lands but was hugely unpopular due to this American sentiment.
Franklin Roosevelt had even been reelected due to the promise that he would not send American boys into any foreign war. Realizing the U.S. would inevitably be involved in the war he arranged the Lend-Lease Act.
Had Hitler not declared war on the U.S. after Pearl Harbor (which was the only time he actually declared war on any country.) The American public would have been content to be at war with Japan only as the main sentiment was "this is our war."
