Question

Why did the United States stay out of World War II at first? Responses

Answer 1

Explanation: The U.S. stayed out of WWII because they believed it was a fight between the foreign nations. Also, they did not want to engage in war during the Great Depression.

Answer 2

Isolationists believed that World War II was ultimately a dispute between foreign nations and that the United States had no good reason to get involved. The best policy, they claimed, was for the United States to build up its own defenses and avoid antagonizing either side.
