what was the purpose of lend-lease and cash and carry policies
Lend-Lease would help the British and Allied forces win the battles of future years; the help it gave in the battles of 1941 was trivial. In 1943â1944, about a quarter of all British munitions came through Lend-Lease.
The first Neutrality Acts prohibited the sale of arms or the making of loans to belligerent countries. The U.S. Congress passed a significant Neutrality Act in 1937 that allowed trade with other countries under the condition that American ships were not used -- the so-called âcash-and-carryâ principle. This policy was renewed in November 1939 with the Neutrality Act of 1939.
