The Lend-Lease Act was a program in which the United States provided military aid and supplies to its allies during World War II, primarily the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China, and other Allied nations. The act was signed into law by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in March 1941, allowing the government to lend or lease war materials to any country deemed vital to the defense of the United States. It played a crucial role in supporting the Allied nations and helping them to combat Axis Powers during the war.
