Many people in the United States were isolationists after The Great War and the memory of losing loved ones was fresh in peoples minds. Many felt that Europes problems would not affect the US. Not until Pearl Harbor did the US enter the war, and initially only against the Japanese. It took the relationship between Roosevelt and Churchill to convince Americans to join the European war theatre.
