ite its status as a neutral nation early in World War II? 1. Atlantic Charter 2.Double V campaign 3. Lend-Lease Act 4. Selective Training and Service Act
FDR had campaigned under a slogan saying that he would keep the United States out of the war and so the United States was neutral during the first years of the second World War even though they were still strongly pro-British.
In order to preserve that neutrality whilst still supporting the British and other allies, Congress signed the Lend-Lease act which allowed the U.S. to lend or lease supplies to Britain and her allies throughout the war. This was vital in stopping the German advance and winning the war.
So basically bud they declared war because Germany had sunk the Lusitania and was therefore trying to abandon the policy against unrestricted submarine warfare
