Question

Why did the United States respond to the outbreak of World War II by remaining neutral?

Congressional legislation prohibited taking sides with nations at war.

Military leaders feared a Nazi attack if the United States supported the Allies.

The U.S. economy was too weak to allow it to begin war preparations.

An executive order from President Roosevelt prohibited taking sides.

Answer 1

At that time, the US had experienced backlash from the effects of World War, what with a body count and negative effects of a war that happened in Europe. Parts of the government believed that the US shouldn't take part in European politics anymore, so the US stayed isolated from Europe until WW2. The US presidents were limited from war by congressional legislature, though they were fully able to fight. It was only until a conflict with Japan that the US would be involved in WW2.

From that, I think you can deduct your answer.
Good luck!
