The America First Committee
Isolationists strongly opposed the Lend-Lease Act, viewing it as a betrayal of America's neutrality during World War II. They believed that providing military aid to allied nations would entangle the U.S. in the conflict and lead to direct involvement in the war. Isolationists argued that the act undermined the principle of non-intervention and could escalate tensions, ultimately endangering American lives and interests.
President Woodrow Wilson sent Marines to Veracruz in April 1914 in response to the arrest of American sailors by Mexican authorities, which he viewed as an affront to U.S. sovereignty. Additionally, Wilson aimed to prevent the shipment of arms to the Mexican regime led by Victoriano Huerta, whom he opposed due to his authoritarian rule. The intervention was part of Wilson's broader policy of promoting democracy in Latin America and protecting American interests in the region. The deployment escalated tensions between the U.S. and Mexico, leading to a complicated diplomatic situation.

Many Americans opposed getting involved in World War II due to a strong isolationist sentiment that prevailed in the country following the devastating impacts of World War I. They believed that the U.S. should focus on domestic issues rather than entangle itself in foreign conflicts. Additionally, the Great Depression had left many Americans concerned about economic stability, leading them to prioritize national recovery over military engagements abroad. This isolationism was further fueled by widespread pacifist attitudes and the belief that the war did not directly threaten American security.
