In the beginning of World War II the US refused to send troops to fight. The memory of World War 1, with over 20 million deaths was fresh in the minds of the people. Thus, at the beginning of World War 2, the US intended to maintain an Isolationist policy. This however, only applied to sending troops; the US did send Britain a lot of weaponry to help them in the fight against Hitler. Once France was invaded, Britain had increasing difficulty in holding back Hitler, and begged for the support of the United States. The US was still not inclined to send troops, and simply offered more financial support to Britain. The US’s Isolationist policy changed on December 7, 1941, when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor.
After the Attack on Pearl Harbor, the U.S. sent troops to the Europe and the Pacific. They were fighting with Britain and the other Allied countries against Nazi Germany and Japan. The U.S’s foreign policy at this time would fall most under collective security; the US was fighting with the other allied countries in order to protect the world from the Nazi regime.
