How did America’s Involvement change after the fall of France and the air war against Britain? Congress declared war on Germany There was no formal change of policy The President declared war on Germany American advisors trained the resistance The President admitted failure
Technically, the US remained neutral and isolationist -- the fall of France and the Battle of Britain did little to change the official position of the nation as a whole. Congress and the President (who would still need Congressional approval) did not declare war on Germany, nor did advisors train any resistance at the time. The President also did not admit failure and sought ways to support Britain and France within the legal means at his disposal such as Lend Lease which allowed them to sell and loan arms, equipment, and other material without violating their neutrality. It wouldn't be until Pearl Harbor on December 7th, 1941, that the US would formally enter the war.
So the policy didn't change?
No, policy generally didn't change. The US didn't go to war or do anything super drastic.
Or maybe they trained the resistance...
Awesome. This question was just a bit odd.
