Well, let's think about it like a happy little tree. In the beginning, America tried to stay neutral by passing laws like the Neutrality Acts to avoid getting involved in conflicts overseas. However, as the war escalated and threats to peace grew, things changed. The attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 ultimately drew the US into the war, as it was a clear and direct act of aggression that united the country to defend freedom and democracy.
