Discuss the efforts of President Franklin Roosevelt to help the Allied Powers after the German invasion of Poland and prior to the American decision to enter the war
What will be an ideal response?
Answer: After Germany invaded Poland, President Roosevelt asked Congress to repeal the embargo section of the Neutrality Act and to approve the sale of arms to Britain and France on a cash-and-carry basis. He also traded 50 over-age destroyers to Britain in return for the right of the United States to establish naval and air bases on British territory in the Western Hemisphere. To aid the British, he proposed a lend-lease arrangement, and to protect shipment of this to Britain, he ordered American warships in 1941 to "shoot on sight" any German submarines in the North Atlantic.
