The Lend Lease Act was an attempt by the United States to support other nations within the Allied Forces during World War II. Under this program the United States provided other Allied nations with food, oil, and material from 1941 to 1945.
It was an act to help the allied powers in Europe. The United States lent weapons and supplied to the allies. This was to help them win the war without the US having to directly participate. Though this didn't win the war it did help.
