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: -The Neutrality Act of 1935 prohibited exporting arms and ammunition to any foreign nation at war.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Neutrality Acts were laws passed in 1935, 1936, 1937, and 1939 to limit U.S. involvement in future wars.
