	Neutrality Acts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.

		NEUTRALITY ACT [Neutrality Act] law passed by the U.S. Congress and signed by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt in Aug., 1935.
		The Neutrality Act was amended (Feb., 1936) to prohibit the granting of loans to belligerents, and later (Jan. and May, 1937) neutrality was extended to cover civil wars, a step inspired by the Spanish civil war.
		In Nov., 1939, the act was revised in favor of supplying warring nations on the "cash-and-carry" principle; but U.S. vessels were excluded from combat zones, and U.S. citizens were forbidden from sailing on belligerent vessels.

	FM 27-10 Chptr 9 Neutrality
		Traditionally, neutrality on the part of a State not a party to the war has consisted in refraining from all participation in the war, and in preventing, tolerating, and regulating certain acts on its own part, by its nationals, and by the belligerents.
		In order to protect its neutrality, a State whose territory is adjacent to a theater of war normally mobilizes a portion of its forces to prevent troops of either belligerent from entering its territory, to intern such as maybe permitted to enter, and generally to carry out its duties of neutrality.
		Should the neutral State be unable, or fail for any reason, to prevent violations of its neutrality by the troops of one belligerent entering or passing through its territory, the other belligerent may be justified in attacking the enemy forces on this territory.

		Enacted in response to the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in May 1935, the Neutrality Act of 1935 prohibited the sales of arms and munitions to countries that were at war and prohibited Americans from traveling on warring countries' ships, except at their own risk.
		The Neutrality Act of 1936 extended the legislation and added an additional ban on making loans or extending credit to belligerents (nations at war).

		The Neutrality Acts were intended to keep the United States clear of entanglements that might unwittingly lead to war.
		It is safe to assert that the absolute category of neutrality on the one hand, and belligerency on the other hand, will not square with the test of actual state practice, there is a third category in which certain acts of partiality are legal even under the law of neutrality.
		The assertion that traditional neutrality was no longer complete was not mere political rhetoric justifying a sensitive policy (though it was that as well)--it was an assessment of the situation the world confronted in the years immediately prior to the United States' entry into the war.

		Other acts required the president to place an embargo on the shipment of arms to nations at war, authorized him to keep U.S. citizens from sailing on the ships of those nations, and forbade the carrying by American ships of guns or ammunition to countries at war (belligerents had to provide transport ships themselves).

	Neutrality Acts
		The Neutrality Acts were a series of acts created by the United States Congress that were geared toward keeping the United States out of another war.
		It was believed that if American ships were carrying weapons to a nation at war, they would be a logical target for an enemy nation and the U.S. could be drawn into another war.
		These acts released the United States from responsibility for actions that could provoke such a situation, and thus released the United States from the obligation of war in certain scenarios.

		Paul had foretold at Acts 20:29: “I know that after my going away [in death] oppressive wolves will enter in among you and will not treat the flock with tenderness, and from among you yourselves men will rise and speak twisted things, to draw away the disciples after themselves.” This is exactly what happened.
		Besides that, by joining the armed forces, even in the performance of non-combatant duties, a Christian would no longer be neutral, or “no part of the world” but would be supporting one government over another, contrary to the example set by Jesus and the early Christians who were neutral toward all governments.
		This subject of Christian neutrality and its related issues should not be taken lightly, just as the record is clear that early Christians didn’t take these issues lightly.
