In the 1930s, the U.S. maintained a policy of isolationism, focusing on domestic issues and avoiding direct involvement in global conflicts. However, as World War II progressed, the U.S. began to shift its stance, providing support to allies through programs like Lend-Lease and increasing military readiness. By the fall of 1941, tensions escalated, particularly with Japan, leading to a more active engagement in global affairs and setting the stage for direct involvement after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. This transition marked a significant shift from isolationism to a more interventionist foreign policy.
Between 1935 and 1941, America gradually shifted from neutrality through several key steps. The Neutrality Acts of the 1930s aimed to prevent U.S. involvement in foreign conflicts but were increasingly challenged by the rise of fascism in Europe. The 1939 revision allowed for "cash and carry" provisions, enabling the sale of arms to allies while maintaining a semblance of neutrality. By 1941, the Lend-Lease Act marked a significant departure, allowing the U.S. to supply military aid to Allied nations, solidifying America's role in the impending conflict of World War II.
In the 1930s, President Franklin D. Roosevelt navigated the delicate balance between isolationism and intervention by adopting a pragmatic approach to foreign policy. He initially respected the isolationist sentiment in the U.S. through measures like the Neutrality Acts, which aimed to keep America out of foreign conflicts. However, as global tensions rose, particularly with the rise of fascism in Europe and the outbreak of World War II, Roosevelt gradually shifted towards intervention. He supported measures such as the Lend-Lease Act, which allowed for aid to Allies, while still attempting to maintain a semblance of neutrality until the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941 necessitated full engagement.
