What prevented earlier US participation in the world war 2?

Earlier U.S. participation in World War II was primarily influenced by a strong isolationist sentiment among the American public and policymakers, who were wary of becoming entangled in foreign conflicts following the devastation of World War I. The Neutrality Acts of the 1930s reflected this stance, aiming to keep the U.S. out of international disputes. Additionally, the Great Depression focused national attention inward, making economic recovery a priority over foreign engagements. It wasn't until the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 that public opinion shifted dramatically, leading to full U.S. involvement in the war.

What prevented earlyer US participation in World War 2?

The United States was still a very isolated country at the start of World War II. The public as a whole did not see how the war affected them and much preferred to take care of the problems at home instead of helping solve problems in Europe. Because of his, the US leaders were limited to providing indirect aid until Pearl Harbor made it clear to the American public that this war would affect them.
