Captain,

Before WW2 America was not a super power and was very Isolationist. The war in Europe started in 1939, in Asia and Africa it had begun as early as 1936.

The pacifist/isolationist movement was led by a number of celebrities, not the least of which was Charles Linbergh.

After Pearl Harbor this movement fell apart.
