Concept note-1: -Which of the following is true concerning the involvement of the United States, at least initially, in fighting World War II? The U.S. was not involved directly, but instead supported allies with ammunition and weapons under the Cash and Carry program.

Concept note-2: -The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, ended the debate over American intervention in both the Pacific and European theaters of World War II. The day after the attack, Congress declared war on Imperial Japan with only a single dissenting vote.

Concept note-3: -The U.S. avoided involvement in WWII before December 1941 because the Congress and the President wanted to believe that the war did not affect the U.S. This was called “isolationism”–the idea that a country could isolate itself from others.
