Detailed explanation-1: -Between 1935 and 1937 Congress passed three “Neutrality Acts” that tried to keep the United States out of war, by making it illegal for Americans to sell or transport arms, or other war materials to belligerent nations.

Detailed explanation-2: -To help Britain and France defeat Germany, Congress passed the Neutrality Act of 1939, which permitted Americans to sell arms to nations at war as long as the nations paid cash.

Detailed explanation-3: -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 widespread disillusionment with World War I in the early 1930s and the belief that the United States had been drawn into the war through loans and trade with the Allies.

Detailed explanation-4: -Neutrality Act of 1935 The 1935 act, passed by Congress on August 31, 1935, imposed a general embargo on trading in arms and war materials with all parties in a war. It also declared that American citizens traveling on warring ships traveled at their own risk.

Detailed explanation-5: -How did the Neutrality Acts (1935) fit with “isolationism"? The Acts forbid the United States to sell weapons to countries at war. The Acts forbid Americans from joining military forces for other countries at war. The Acts forbid Americans from traveling on ships operated by countries that were engaged in the war.
