===1940s: World War II and aftermath===
During the 1930s, most Republicans were [[isolationist]]s who opposed U.S. entanglement in complicated world affairs. This non-interventionism among the Old Right began to diminish following the [[attack on Pearl Harbor]], which generated sharp sentiment among Americans for involvement in [[World War II]].
