Question

According to the political cartoon, the United States held what position in terms of neutrality at the beginning of WWII ?

Answer 1

The US was neutral in the beginning of WWII. The US did not want to be involved in the conflict in Europe hence immediately declaring neutrality. When WWI began in Europe in 1914, many Americans wanted the United States to stay out of the conflict, supporting President Woodrow Wilson's policy of strict and impartial neutrality. “The United States must be neutral in fact as well as in name during these days that are to try men's souls.”
