The general public, many newspapers, and influential members of the Congress were opposed to the U.S. entering the war. The country was still struggling to end the Great Depression and U.S. participation in World War I had generated a good deal of anti-war sentiment. The general feeling was that the war was strictly a European matter in which the U.S. had no stake or interest. Of course, that all changed when Germany honored the Tripartite Pact with Japan and declared war on the U.S. on December 11, 1941.
