American Isolationism Following WWI, the U.S. returned to isolationist foreign policy Many questioned cost of victory in WWI U.S. Senate was unwilling to join the League of Nations Feared it would drag the U.S. into future wars Most isolationist were not Pacifists- those who do not believe in military force

American Isolationism FDR was not an isolationist Supported entry in League of Nations FDR and Congress were more focused on the Great Depression than foreign policy

Balancing Isolation & Intervention Congress passed the Neutrality Act in 1935 Prevented U.S. from selling weapons to warring states Intended to prevent U.S. from being drawn into war

Balancing Isolation & Intervention Aggression by totalitarian dictators began to catch FDR’s attention Ended arms sails to Italy after 1935 invasion of Ethiopia After Japanese invasion of China in 1937, FDR gave Quarantine Speech - Compared spread of war to spread of disease Urged peace-loving nations to stop aggressive nations from spreading war Speech upset many isolationists

Preparing for War In 1938, FDR urged Congress to build a new Navy After Hitler’s invasion of Poland, FDR got Congress to change Neutrality laws Cash and Carry Policy (1939) - Allowed the U.S. to sell to warring nations as long as they paid cash & picked up orders from American ports Intended to help Allies slow Hitler Roosevelt urged a policy of “all aid short of war.” Exchanged 50 aging warships for 8 British military bases. Isolationists opposed the deal, but were too weak to stop it.

Preparing for War FDR aimed to make the U.S. an “arsenal for democracy” Lend-Lease Act (1940) - Allowed the U.S. to sell weapons to the U.K. regardless of ability to pay Atlantic Charter (1941) - Proclaimed shared goal of U.S. and U.K to defeat Axis Powers
