Was he a war Monger? Hitler was the war monger who only Churchill would stand against. Even our president Roosevelt was a enabler who refused to stand with Churchill against the most brutal dictator of our lifetime. Even old man Kennedy was a Hitler apologist. Read the history, or be a fool and let it happen again.

FDR refused to stand with Churchill against Hitler? Really? Where did you learn history, ‘’Ripley’s Believe It Or Not?’’

No FDR fan here, but you must remember that isolationism was very strong in this country. The failure of World War I to end all wars and the replacement of monarchical systems with Communism and fascism, instead of free market republican systems, left a bias against European conflicts. German Americans were particularly hostile to another war against their ancestral homeland. Irish Americans had no use for another war to save England, their ancient enemy. Throw in large elements of nativism, e.g. the Ku Klux Klan a decade and a half earlier, and anti-Semitism (Lindbergh, Father Coughlin, Henry Ford, et. al.), and you had strong headwinds against interventionism.
