1. Americans wanted to stay neutral in the upcoming war, due to the atrocities of the World War I. "Americans remembered the horrors of World War I, which took place from 1914-1918. They hoped to stay out of the problems in Europe this time."
2. The Great Depression influenced the crisis in Europe, and brought Hitler and the Nazis into power. USA wanted to stay isolated from these events and keep their neutrality. "In the 1930s Americans were more worried about their own problems than problems in Europe".
