Question

What legislation allowed the United States to provide supplies to Britain and her allies,and what did President Roosevelt hope it would do?

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

Although there are no options attached we can say the following.

The legislation that allowed the United States to provide supplies to Britain and its allies was the Lend-Lease Act.

What President Roosevelt hoped it would do was to lend or lease supplies needed for the nations that were fighting in the war and somehow defending the interests of the United States. Let's have in mind that at the beginning of World War II, President Franklin D. Roosevelt had decided that the United States had to remain neutral in the conflict. That is why this legislation helped to send food, supplies, and weaponry. to US allies.

Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act in March 1941.

The United States officially entered World War II in December 1941, after the Japanese attack of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
