Americans opposed U.S intervention against Hitler, and instead wanted them to
focus more on the domestic affairs that were caused by the Great Depression. A
majority of Americans believed that getting involved with WWI was a mistake,
raising the amount of fascism making the war even more pointless. Some people
theorized that big business around the country entered the war so they could
make a lot of money by selling their weapons, but no one could prove this. When
Congress passed the Neutrality Acts of 1935, 1936, and 1937, Americans were
restricted to certain things during the war. They got prohibited from sailing
ships during the war, they can't make loans to nations that are at war or
selling them arms, and they couldn't distinguish between the aggressors and
victims, nor the allies. Americans disagreed with the openly pro-Allies
position, saying that it violates American neutrality and it threatened to push
U.S. into war. Isolationists say that the U.S. should make alliances with other
countries, they need to focus on problems at their own homes, complete
isolation was the way to keep the U.S safe, and that fighting in a foreign war
would be a mistake. Interventionists say that the U.S. should work with nations
to promote security, Axis aggressions were wrong and threatened society, U.S.
should aid the Allies for fighting for the freed of Britain, and the U.S.
should put limitations on Axis Powers and prepare for war. Isolationists have
also said that by gibing aid to the Allies, that was automatically harming the
Axis and it would culminate with the U.S. entering the conflict, meaning that
they would reach a high point of interference, but the neutrality would keep
America safe by having more allies. "The America First Committee, an
isolationist group, held rallies and sponsored speeches that criticized
Roosevelt's openly pro-British policies (McDougal)."
