Question

(MC)Why did the Lend-Lease program anger isolationists?

Answer 1

That it was seen as a way to undermine the Neutrality Acts. In a way, they were right. Lend-Lease basically killed the Neutrality Acts when it was finally put into action and pushed the US a step closer to being a full participant in the war. It wasn't seen as a drain on the US Treasury and isolationists weren't upset over it because of support for the Axis powers -- it wasn't why the Lend Lease program was drafted up in the first place. It also wasn't seen as a direct violation of US law since it still had to be approved by Congress, though isolationists saw it as a violation of their belief that the US shouldn't get involved with foreign conflicts.

Answer 2

Answer:

Isolationists were furious that the Lend-Lease Program ended America's policy of neutrality and non-intervention.

Explanation:

"Lend-Lease" is an almost unknown law, but it was an important milestone during World War II. While the Red Army fought against the Germans, by this read the United States delivered weapons, food, airplanes and vehicles to the Soviets, to Britain, China, Free France and other allied nations.

This has infuriated many American isolationists because they believed that the United States should maintain its policy of neutrality through European conflicts. Once the Lend-Lease program was approved, the policy of neutrality and non-interference would be over.
