Chapter 19 : World War II |
During FDR's first and second administrations, the Good Neighbor policy committed the United States to a policy of nonintervention in Latin America. In Europe, FDR recognized the government of the Soviet Union and sought to maintain neutral relations with other nations.
When war in Europe broke out in 1939, German victories prompted the United States to aid Great Britain and France. In 1941, after Japanese planes bombed Pearl Harbor, the United States declared war on Japan and Germany. For the second time in 25 years, the American economy converted to war production and transformed the nation's way of life.
