The British pursued a policy of appeasement; whereby they sought to bring the new fascist regimes, such as Germany, into the fold of international politics. This was based on the fact that many people wanted WW1 to be the war to end all wars. 
The US were largely uninvolved in European politics during this period, they pursued a policy of splendid isolationism in the inter war period. 

History

What policy did Great Britain, France, and the United States pursue against the new regimes in Germany, Italy, and Japan in the 1930s?

World War Two was essentially caused by Hitler’s aggression first in invading Czechoslovakia and then Poland. Invading another sovereign country against international law brought Britain and France in.


Why does the world war II happen?

The allies were the United Kingdom (and its vast empire), France and Poland in the initial phase of the war; later joined by the USA (after Pearl Harbour bombing) and the USSR (after Germany invaded in 1941).
Other smaller countries, such as Greece, Belgium and the Netherlands also supported fight against Germany

Who were the allies in World War II?

Proxy wars are those wars in which two countries fight one another, but there are other parties indirectly involved in the conflict perhaps by providing weapons, military advice or finance to one side. In the Cold War period, the USA and USSR did not directly fight one another but in Korea and Vietnam there were proxy wars where the two countries supported opposing sides in the conflicts. In Korea, the North was backed by the Communist countries - the USSR and China - while the south was supported by the USA.
