The Neutrality Act of 1935 is a U.S federal statute. The Act imposes a ban on arm trade and other war materials to parties in war. This Act is the result of Italyâs invasion of Ethiopia.
After a fierce debate in Congress, in November of 1939, a final Neutrality Act passed. This Act lifted the arms embargo and put all trade with belligerent nations under the terms of âcash-and-carry.â The ban on loans remained in effect, and American ships were barred from transporting goods to belligerent ports.
