An American Perspective

In: Ukraine and European Security

Abstract

The United States (US) has been engaged continuously in European security affairs since the early 1940s, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt skirted US neutrality laws to provide military aid to Great Britain, and more openly after Pearl Harbor, when Roosevelt overruled those calling for an Asia-first strategy to make defeat of Nazi Germany America’s primary war objective. After World War II, the US remained engaged in European affairs, although that it would do so was not a foregone conclusion. In 1945–46, US troops were rapidly withdrawn from the continent and demobilized, and there was strong isolationist sentiment in the Congress and the public.1
