Section 4
• By December 1940, Great Britain had run out of funds to wage war against Germany.
Edging Toward the War (cont.)
− Roosevelt proposed the Lend-Lease Act, which allowed the United States to lend or lease arms to any country considered “vital to the defense of the United States.”
− After Hitler invaded the Soviet Union, this act also helped them.

Section 4
• Because the United States was still technically neutral, Roosevelt could not order the U.S. Navy to protect British cargo ships.
Edging Toward the War (cont.)
− Instead, he developed the idea of a hemispheric defense zone.
− He then ordered the U.S. Navy to patrol the western Atlantic and reveal the location of German submarines to the British.
