How did the US try to remain neutral, but get pulled into war? The US responds to War How did the US try to remain neutral, but get pulled into war?

Isolationism vs. Internationalism The Nye Committee finds that munitions makers and bankers actually profited off of WWI—some felt US went to war for $! Neutrality Act 1935: forbade sale of munitions to belligerent nations during wartime 2nd Neutrality Act 1936: covered civil wars (Spain) 3rd Neutrality Act 1937: gave President authority to make sale on cash-and-carry basis

Meanwhile… Italy invades Ethiopia 1936 Spain in Civil War 1936 Japan invades China 1937

Things get worse! 1939: Germans invade Czechoslovakia Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact signed September 1: Germany invades Poland

FDR’s response? Help our allies, GB and France! US Congress permits short term loans and “cash and carry”

Results FDR transferred 50 navy destroyers to Brits in exchange for Naval bases in Caribbean Congress enacted first peacetime draft! FDR brought 2 Republicans to Cabinet

FDR Runs for a 3rd term!!! Continues to aid Britain Cash and carry Expands to become Lend-Lease Act

Neutrality Act 1939 and Hitler’s mistake… Lend or lease arms to countries considered “vital to the defense of the US” Hitler violates Nazi-Soviet Pact in June 1941 and invades USSR

FDR’s Hemispheric Defense Zone Declared western half of Atlantic “Neutral” US ships could then patrol and reveal location of German subs to Brits! August 1941: FDR and Churchill (GB) agree to Atlantic Charter

Germany’s Angry! German Uboats fire on American destroyer, the Greer Institute “shoot on sight” policy Germans torpedo and sink US destroyer Reuben James
