How did America try to stay neutral in World War 2 and what drew the us into the war?

Initially, America sought to remain neutral in World War II through policies like the Neutrality Acts, which restricted arms sales and loans to warring nations. However, increasing tensions, such as the aggression of Axis powers and the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, ultimately drew the U.S. into the conflict. The attack galvanized public opinion and led Congress to declare war on Japan the following day, marking America's active involvement in the war.
