Question

Prior to World War II, this was President Roosevelt's revision of the Neutrality Acts: participants in the war in Europe could purchase war materiel from the U.S. but only if they paid for them full up front and arranged for the transport of the goods themselves.

Answer 1

Answer:

The Cash and Carry was President Roosevelt's revision of the Neutrality Acts

Explanation:

The Cash and Carry (1939) was a policy requested by President Roosevelt in Congress to allow the US to sell war material to participants in the world war II in Europe (while keeping US neutrality in the war), but only if those countries paid for the material full upfront, arranged for the transport of the goods themselves and assumed all risk in transportation. The policy replaced the Neutrality Acts which allowed only the sale of nonmilitary goods to belligerents as long as they paid for the goods first and arrange transportation.

Answer 2

False.

Note the word "prior" which suggests that Roosevelt started changing the Neutrality Acts before the war started. This is false, for only after Britain asked for military merchandise did America provide for them.
