Congress exhibited a strong isolationist stance primarily due to widespread public sentiment against involvement in foreign conflicts, particularly following the devastation of World War I. Many lawmakers believed that the U.S. should focus on domestic issues and avoid entangling alliances that could lead to another war. Additionally, the economic challenges of the Great Depression further reinforced isolationism, as Congress prioritized economic recovery over international engagements. This mindset persisted until the growing threats of fascism and the events leading up to World War II shifted public and legislative perspectives.
