USA HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -In the 1930s, the United States Government enacted a series of laws designed to prevent the United States from being embroiled in a foreign war by clearly stating the terms of U.S. neutrality.

Detailed explanation-2: -During the 1930s, the combination of the Great Depression and the memory of tragic losses in World War I contributed to pushing American public opinion and policy toward isolationism. Isolationists advocated non-involvement in European and Asian conflicts and non-entanglement in international politics.

Detailed explanation-3: -Congress passed a series of Neutrality Acts in the late 1930s, aiming to prevent future involvement in foreign wars by banning American citizens from trading with nations at war, loaning them money, or traveling on their ships. But by 1940, the deteriorating global situation was impossible to ignore.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neutralism or a “neutralist policy” is a foreign policy position wherein a state intends to remain neutral in future wars. A sovereign state that reserves the right to become a belligerent if attacked by a party to the war is in a condition of armed neutrality.

Detailed explanation-5: -The reasons the U.S called neutrality during the 1920s and 1930s is because they no longer wanted to be involved with wars, for example World War 1, and they had enough going on the inner parts of the U.S, such as women gaining the right to vote.
