During the first two years of World War II, the United States took a stance of official neutrality, largely influenced by isolationist sentiments in the country following the devastation of World War I. However, as the conflict escalated, this position changed with the Lend-Lease Act in 1941, which allowed the U.S. to supply Allied nations with war materials. As tensions grew and attacks on American interests increased, such as the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the U.S. shifted from neutrality to active involvement, ultimately declaring war on the Axis powers. This pivotal decision shaped the course of the war and laid the groundwork for the U.S. to become a leading force in the Allied victory.
