Line 13:
Her father was a lawyer, a partner at [[J.P. Morgan Bank]], [[United States]] Ambassador to [[Mexico]], and then [[United States Senate|Senator]] from [[New Jersey]]. Her father's posting as Ambassador to Mexico, and his prior role heading the Aviation Board, sparked invitation of the new aviation hero, Charles A. Lindbergh, to make a goodwill tour of Mexico, where Anne and Charles first met.
The media attention, particularly after the kidnapping, was a level of frenzy that can only be compared to the [[O. J. Simpson]] trial. After the trial of the kidnapper, the Lindberghs left for Europe. Europe provided the setting for the Lindberghs' fall from grace, he for his isolationist views, and she for thoroughly supporting him. In the late [[1930s]], the US Air Attache in [[Berlin]] invited Charles Lindbergh to inspect the rising power of [[Nazi]] [[Germany]]'s Air Force. Impressed by German technology and apparent number of planes, as well as influenced by the staggering number of deaths from [[World War I]], Charles Linbergh opposed the US entry into the coming [[World War II]].
The Isolationist Movement quickly addopted Charles Lindbergh as their leader, but after [[Attack on Pearl Harbor|Pearl Harbor]] and the German Declaration of War, the movement was quickly stung by previously articulated isolationist, pro-German, anti-British and anti-semitic feelings.
