    Rules began to become more flexible specially with the cash and carry policy, which led warring nations purchase arms from the U.S with the conditions that they pay in cash and use their own ships to transport it. President Roosevelt was the person who presented the policy, he was also known to favor the involvement of America in the war. At the beginning many Americans opposed these views. Roosevelt's idea of U.S only got stronger with Japan's invasion of China. He favored China and the Allies and used the cash and carry policy to help the Chinese. In September 3rd France and Great Britain declared war on Germany because of their invasion of Poland.

While people in the 1910s wanted to defend democracy at all costs, people began to insist that we not get involve with the European nations, and this attitude was immediately reflected when Woodrow Wilson tried to get the Treaty of Versailles signed in 1919. Woodrow Wilson was the president for World War I.…
