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: -The Neutrality Acts sought to ensure that the United States would not become entangled again in foreign conflicts. The Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1936 barred Americans from lending money to warring nations or selling them arms.
Detailed explanation-3: -Roosevelt saw this as a way to aid Great Britain and France in the event of an invasion by Nazi Germany. “Cash and carry” enabled President Roosevelt to take an incremental step away from neutrality and at the same time move away from the power of the isolationist movement.
Detailed explanation-4: -Put simply the United States did not concern itself with events and alliances in Europe and thus stayed out of the war. Wilson was firmly opposed to war, and believed that the key aim was to ensure peace, not only for the United States but across the world.
