WWI: deadly, expensive mistake (Nye Committee) Early/Mid 1930s: From “Bad Neighbor” to “Good Neighbor” Mid/Late 1930s: Majority of Americans opposed US intervention at beginning of war Economic sanctions? Neutrality Acts: ‘35, ‘36, ‘37 Can’t sail on belligerent ships No loans, no arms sales FDR wanted to aid democracies of Europe: 1939 “Cash-and-carry” Many Americans upset: “You’ll push us into war!” Debate most heated after fall of France

“America First Committee” Charles Lindbergh - outspoken critic Fight the USSR, not Germany!

II. America’s Steps Toward War Reports from London blitz about Germans bombing innocent civilians G, I, & J form alliance: Axis Powers Peacetime draft FDR sends destroyers to GB without consent of Congress Election of 1940 = economy improving? War? = FDR.
