Lend-Lease Act

The Lend-Lease Act, signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 11, 1941, allowed the United States to provide military aid and assistance to its allies during the early days of World War II prior to America's official entrance following Japan's surprise attack at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.

In the early years of World War II, Nazi Germany had already conquered much of Europe, and Britain was standing alone against the Axis powers. The United States, under President Franklin D. Roosevelt, was sympathetic to the Allied cause but faced political and public resistance to direct involvement in the war.

The Lend-Lease Act gave the President the authority to lend or lease military equipment and other supplies to any country whose defense was deemed vital to the security of the United States.

The term "Lend-Lease" reflected the idea that the U.S. would lend or lease, rather than sell, military equipment to the Allies, with "no money up front." The recipients were not required to pay for the aid immediately but would return or compensate the U.S. after the war. The act was not limited to providing assistance to any specific country but allowed aid to be extended to any nation whose defense was essential to the security of the United States. The President was granted considerable discretion in determining the terms and conditions of the aid, providing flexibility in responding to the changing dynamics of the war.

The Lend-Lease Act marked a shift in U.S. policy from strict neutrality to a more active role in supporting the Allies. It allowed the United States to provide crucial assistance to nations like the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and China, helping them resist Axis aggression.
