Allied Powers · World History

The 'Lend-Lease' Act, passed in 1941, primarily allowed the United States to:

  1. Station troops in Great Britain for immediate combat
  2. Provide military aid to Allied nations while technically remaining neutral
  3. Lend money to Germany to prevent a total economic collapse
  4. Lease Pacific islands to Japan for commercial use
Show answer and explanation

Correct answer: Provide military aid to Allied nations while technically remaining neutral

Lend-Lease enabled the U.S. to supply the UK, the Soviet Union, and China with food, oil, and materiel. This policy was essential for keeping the Allied war effort afloat before the U.S. formally entered the conflict.
