The best description of U.S. policy regarding the war before 1941 is Neutrality, but with increasing challenges as the war escalated. Initially, the U.S. sought to maintain a stance of neutrality, but as World War II progressed and events such as the fall of France and the Battle of Britain occurred, the U.S. became more involved, providing support to the Allies through programs like Lend-Lease, despite not being officially in the war until after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.
