Anti-Americanism is a feeling of hatred toward America, its culture and its people. It is caused by several things. However, contrary to popular belief, Anti-Americanism has nothing to do with America’s foreign relations. It is, however, caused by resentment against America. People from outside countries start to think and believe that Americans are not professionals. They also begin to believe that Americans are too materialistic and spiritual.

During this time, many Americans were Isolationists, believing the United States should refrain from intervening with international conflicts. Isolationism led to the passing of the Neutrality Acts, which outlawed the sale or loan of arms to nations at war.

Not long after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States was at war with the Axis Powers, made up of Germany, Italy, and Japan. To contribute to the war effort, Americans changed their lives economically, politically, and socially.…
