What was the US position at the start of World War II?

At the start of World War II in 1939, the United States maintained a position of neutrality, influenced by isolationist sentiments among the American public and a desire to avoid involvement in European conflicts. The U.S. government focused on domestic issues and did not officially enter the war until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941. However, prior to this, the U.S. provided indirect support to Allied nations through programs like Lend-Lease, which supplied material assistance to countries fighting against Axis powers.
