Presentation transcript:

THE U.S. & WW II There was a gradual change in American policy from neutrality to direct involvement.

THE U.S. & WW II 1. US policy was Isolationism because of the Great Depression and legacy of World War I. The Neutrality Acts were laws passed in 1935, 1936, 1937, and 1939 to limit U.S. involvement in future wars. They were based on the belief that the United States had been drawn into the WW I through loans and trade with the Allies.

THE U.S. & WW II 2. Economic aid to Allies Lend-Lease Act Authorized the president to transfer arms or any other defense materials to “the government of any country whose defense the President deems vital to the defense of the United States.”

THE U.S. & WW II 3. Direct involvement in the war Rising tension developed between the United States and Japan because of Japanese aggression in East Asia. On December 7, 1941, Japan attacked the United States at Pearl Harbor without warning.
