Isolationism in the United States played a significant role in shaping the country's initial response to World War II. Following the trauma of World War I, many Americans favored a policy of non-involvement, believing that the U.S. should focus on domestic issues rather than foreign conflicts. This sentiment delayed U.S. entry into the war, allowing Axis powers to gain strength. However, the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 ultimately shifted public opinion, leading to a decisive end to isolationism as the U.S. actively joined the Allied forces.
