Lend-Lease+Act



Lend-Lease Act: This law, passed in 1941, authorized the president to aid any nation whose defense he believed was vital to American security. The America First Commitee was strongly opposed to this new type of aid to other countries. Toward the end of the war, the United States had loaned more than $49 billion worth of aid to about 40 nations around the world.
