The Neutrality Act sent a clear message to dictators in Europe and Asia that the United States would maintain a stance of non-involvement in foreign conflicts, thereby limiting the support available to nations resisting aggression. By prohibiting arms sales and financial assistance to warring countries, the Act signaled to authoritarian regimes that they could act with greater impunity, knowing that the U.S. would not intervene militarily. This policy of isolationism may have emboldened dictators to pursue their expansionist ambitions without fear of American retaliation.
Within Europe powerful dictators rose in Germany, Italy, and Spain, and within Asia, a powerful dictator rose to power in Japan.
The main reason for the rise of dictators in Europe and Asia during the 1930s was the fact that the dictators who were in charge at the time promised the people that the country would experience economic recovery. This was a period of time when the people were very poor and looking for a way out of poverty.

In the 1930s, the U.S. largely adopted a policy of isolationism in response to the rise of dictators in Europe and Asia, focusing on domestic issues stemming from the Great Depression. While there was concern about the aggressive actions of leaders like Hitler and Mussolini, the U.S. government was hesitant to intervene militarily, prioritizing neutrality and avoiding entanglement in foreign conflicts. However, as the threat of fascism grew and events like the invasion of Poland unfolded, American public opinion began to shift towards supporting aid for Allies, leading to initiatives like Lend-Lease in 1941. Overall, the initial reaction was characterized by reluctance to engage in international affairs.
