What was the U.S. foreign policy at the time? Did the U.S. keep this foreign policy for long?

A Quick Refresher in U.S. Foreign Policy Isolationism Non-involvement Neutrality Not taking sides in a foreign war

What are the historical roots of Neutrality and Isolationism? George Washington Monroe Doctrine

Disillusion and Pacifism Before WWI, U.S. Foreign Policy  Isolationism Until what happens? German U-Boats attack the Lusitania During WWI, U.S. Foreign Policy  Involvement and Internationalism (Wilson leading the Paris Peace Conference) Back to Isolationism after WWI

Gradual U.S. Involvement The outbreak of war and the German drive caused a sharp turnaround in U.S. public opinion. More of the U.S. change its willingness to help Britain because if Germany succeeded it would be a threat to U.S. security.

In order to help the British, the United States changes its Neutrality Acts and creates the Destroyer Deal and the Lend Lease Act

How do you think the U.S. is going to react to the rise of Fascism in Europe Neutrality Acts No sale or shipment of arms to warring nations No loans or credits to warring nations No traveling of U.S. Citizens on ships of warring nations (what event do you think this is built upon?) Nonmilitary goods bought by warring nations are to be paid in cash and transported on their own ship (Cash and Carry Principle)

The Neutrality Act of 1939 The Neutrality Act of 1939: According to the original law, only nonmilitary goods could be shipped to warring nation on a “cash and carry” principle and military supplies could not be sold at all. Under the new law, U.S. made war supplies could be sold to warring nations if they paid in cash and carried in their own ships.

Destroyer Deal (A.K.A. Destroyer- for-bases deal) To help the British defend themselves against German sub attacks, President Roosevelt agreed to transfer to Britain 50 U.S. Destroyers. In exchange, the U.S. will be given eight British Naval and Air bases

Lend Lease

Roosevelt meets with Winston Churchill (Prime Minister of England) to discuss common wartime aims known as the Atlantic Charter. Some of these common aims included: Recognizing of the right of all nations to self-determination (the right for people to choose their government)

U.S.-British understanding that neither power would seek to gain territory from the war. The disarmament of aggressive nations A “permanent system of general security” for the future
