Encyclopedia > Neutrality Act

Several United States laws have been called Neutrality Acts:

  • The Neutrality Act of 1935 prohibited American citizens from selling arms to belligerents in international war. It resulted from Italy's invasion of Ethiopia.
  • The Neutrality Act of 1937 stated that United States citizens could not sell arms to belligerents in Civil Wars, including the government side. It resulted from the Spanish Civil War.
  • Later in 1937, a second Neutrality Act forbade travel by U.S. citizens on ships of belligerents. This was aimed at the Sino-Japanese War (1937-1945).

There were also the Neutrality Acts of 1939

Neutrality Acts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (443 words)
The Neutrality Acts were a series of laws passed in the United States in the 1930s, in response to the growing turmoil in Europe and Asia that was to lead to the Second World War.
The legacy of the Acts is widely regarded as having been generally negative; they made no distinction between aggressor and victim, treating both equally as "belligerents", and they limited the US government's ability to aid Britain against Nazi Germany until the formal declaration of war in 1941 rendered them irrelevant.
The Neutrality Act of 1936, passed in February of that year, sought to close the loopholes in the 1935 Act by prohibiting trade in war materials as well as loans or credits to belligerents.
