In the 1930s, U.S. foreign policy was characterized by isolationism, as the nation sought to avoid involvement in international conflicts following the devastation of World War I. The Neutrality Acts were enacted to prevent the U.S. from being drawn into foreign wars, reflecting a widespread desire to focus on domestic issues and economic recovery during the Great Depression. However, as global tensions escalated with the rise of fascism and the onset of World War II, this stance began to shift toward greater engagement, particularly through programs like Lend-Lease by the decade's end.
