Answer to Question #157120 in History for Chris

Question

In the Land Lease Act 1941, why did the US do it?

Answer 1

The 1941 Land Lease Act involved the United States supplying military aid to its foreign allies during World War II while still remaining neutral in the conflict. This act came as a military necessity to defeat Nazi Germany without entering the war outright, at least not until it was prepared for it, both militarily and in terms of public opinion.
