What was us policy towards the war in 1939?

Answer 1

In 1939, U.S. policy toward the war in Europe was characterized by neutrality, as reflected in the Neutrality Acts passed in the 1930s to avoid entanglement in foreign conflicts. Despite a strong isolationist sentiment, the U.S. began to shift its stance slightly after Germany's invasion of Poland in September 1939, as public opinion began to favor support for the Allies. However, official involvement remained limited, and the U.S. provided economic assistance through programs like "cash and carry," allowing countries to purchase arms if they paid upfront and transported them themselves.
