As the world financial crisis continued and European fascism was growing, here in America Congress passed a series of Neutrality Acts in the late 1930s, aiming to prevent future involvement in foreign wars by banning American citizens from trading with nations at war, loaning them money, or travelling on their ships.
The Neutrality Acts were invoked on several occasions in the 1930s and remained in effect in September 1939, when Great Britain and France declared war on Germany over Hitler's invasion of Poland - thus marking the beginning of World War Two in Europe.
