Question

Why did President Roosevelt push Congress to insert "cash and carry" provisions into the Neutrality Acts? (1 point) to make it possible for American businesses to profit from wartime trade to give the United States the chance to bankrupt Axis powers with high costs to prevent Germany and Japan from buying war materials from the United States to enable the United States to aid the Axis powers without a military commitment

Answer 1

A would be the correct answer

Answer 2

The correct answer is “to make it possible for American businesses to profit from wartime trade”

The Neutrality Acts was a series of bills passed by the US Congress, those bills reinforced the US isolationism and non-interventionism in other countries wars and affairs. But Roosevelt pushed the “cash and carry” into the Neutrality Acts. The Cash and Carry provision allowed countries to buy American arms as long as they paid in cash and they transported them in their own ships. So despite the fact that the US remained neutral in wars, the country still profited with them.
