Answer 1

Answer:

The United States decided to stay neutral in the 1920’s and 1930’s.

The reason for the United States decision was because they wanted to stay

as an isolationist country. The United States did not want to be a part of other

nations affairs. Instead they wanted to focus on their own problems. They

also did not want to be a part of the war. In the beginning the ideas about

neutrality started to change when President Roosevelt wanted to support

China. He did not want to follow the Neutrality Acts. The President decided to

use the Cash-and-Carry system. He believed that helping democratic

governments was way more important than keeping the U.S neutral. We start

to see the ideas about neutrality alter when Roosevelt signed the Lend-Lease

Act. This authorized Roosevelt to sell arms or protective aid to other nations

without them having to pay in cash.

Answer 2

. The US had always been an Isolationist country, meaning that they tried to stay out of foreign affairs. This is probably because of the difficulty we were experiencing internally. We ended up sending help to Britain and the Allied forces because they had more democratic governments, while the Axis forces were more authoritarian. The US was inclined to help democratic countries because they would be stronger allies and not nearly as hostile.
