Question

When much of America remained Isolationist, why did Congress pass the Lend-Lease Act, breaking years of Neutrality Acts?

Answer 1

Answer:

The Senate passed a $5.98 billion supplemental Lend-Lease Bill on October 23, 1941, bringing the United States one step closer to direct involvement in World War II. This aid was intended to assist in the defense of nations whose security was deemed vital to the security of the United States. .
