How was us attitudes toward world war 2 similar to those toward world war 1 how were they different?

they didnt want to participate until they were the subject of the attacks. They were pacifists who hated the idea of war and wanted to be kept as far away from it as possible. Also, the United States have been the providers of aid for the Allies for a very long time. It only made sense to protect them so they can get the money the Allies owed them after the war.
