In the late 1930s, the U.S. initially responded to German aggression in Europe through a policy of neutrality, as reflected in the Neutrality Acts aimed at avoiding involvement in foreign conflicts. However, as Germany's expansionist actions escalated, particularly with the invasion of Poland in 1939, the U.S. began to shift its stance. President Franklin D. Roosevelt advocated for increased support to Allied nations, leading to initiatives like the Lend-Lease Act in 1941, which provided military aid to Britain and other allies. This marked a gradual move from isolationism towards a more interventionist approach in response to the growing threat posed by Nazi Germany.
The German American Bund
The United States did not stop fascist aggression in the 1930s primarily due to its isolationist foreign policy, which prioritized domestic concerns over international intervention. Many Americans were disillusioned by the devastation of World War I and were reluctant to engage in foreign conflicts. Additionally, the Great Depression strained resources and attention, leading to a focus on economic recovery rather than international affairs. This combination of isolationism and internal challenges allowed fascist regimes in Europe to expand their influence largely unchecked during that period.
America wanted to insulate itself from europe in the 1920's and 1930's because of the establishment of communism in the soviet union and the emergence of fascism

After World War I, the U.S. helped Europe recover economically primarily through loans and financial support. The Dawes Plan of 1924 restructured Germany's reparations payments and facilitated loans from American banks to stabilize the German economy. Additionally, the U.S. provided significant investments and trade opportunities, which contributed to economic revitalization in various European nations. However, the recovery efforts were ultimately hampered by the onset of the Great Depression in the 1930s.
Appeasement
By 'advances' do you mean attempts to woo, that is, join the League or do you mean Hitler's triumphs in the 1930s?
The response to axis aggression in the 1930s by western democracies was appeasement.
Primarily because they were not prepared (militarily or politically) to fight Germany or resist Hitler at the risk of war, until Hitler attacked Poland on September 1, 1939. Although they did not entirely trust Hitler, they hoped that Hitler's aggressions would end after he seized the Sudetenland in October 1938.
They tried their best to convince the world they were just bystanders in all the aggression. The US passed 3 neutrality acts to convince everyone they were not gonna be involved in any aggressive action .... They hid from the idea that war was coming .. In a word - appeasement, i.e. a light slap on the wrist and an "Oh, you are a naughty boy".
In the 1930s, the League of Nations struggled to effectively respond to the rise of fascism, as its collective security measures were largely ineffective. Notably, it condemned aggression but failed to take decisive action against Italy's invasion of Ethiopia in 1935 or Japan's invasion of Manchuria in 1931. The League's inability to enforce its resolutions or unite member states against aggressors highlighted its weaknesses, ultimately undermining its credibility and leading to its decline as a global peacekeeping organization.
