People in the US knew that there was a war going on in Europe; and a war going on in Asia. And most of the adults had lived through this scene before, only 20 years earlier when there was a war in Europe, called the "Great War." And greatly had no sympathy for Europe which seemed to start "problems", let it get out of hand, then start asking for the US to bail them out of the trouble. In the US it was sometimes referred to as "isolationism." Then, in the late 1930's, it was happening again. When WW2 began for the US on December 7, 1941; the "Great War" had to be re-labled WW1, so World War 2 could be called World War 2. And yes, the US bailed the Europeans out of the fire, for the second time in the span of only 20 years.
