why did FDR think that policy toward the war in Europe had to be changed?
What major steps did he take to change this policy between 1939-1941?What policy and legislation did the u.s. adopt during the 1930's that intended to avoid war in Europe?Congress passed a number of laws that amount to the policy of "Isolationism" or "Non-Interventionism". Most of Americans were NOT interested in getting involved in another "European" war after World War I AND were more interested in fixing OUR economy after the Market Crash of 1929. : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Stat鈥?/a>
The key legislation passed by Congress were the "Neutrality Acts" : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutrality_鈥?/a>
FDR snuck in LEND-LEASE by calling it An Act Further to Promote the Defense of the United States. This act also ended the pretense of the neutrality of the United States. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lend-Lease_鈥?/a>What policy and legislation did the u.s. adopt during the 1930's that intended to avoid war in Europe?The US government adopted the Neutrality Acts to avoid the war in Europe. These were laws that prevented the US from entering the war on anybodies side, but the US also put in the Lend-Lease Act which allowed the US to give it's allies such as Britain weapons and financial aid to fight Germany. After Pearl Harbor the US completely changed morale of the situation and great fear swept the nation. Declaring War on Japan, and Germany.
