La participation des États-Unis à la Seconde Guerre mondiale

Abstract

The beginning of the Second World War marked a change. The German victories in France and Poland, occupation of Belgium and still defying, but exhausted Great Britain led President Roosevelt to sign the Lend-Lease Act on March 11, 1941. It committed U.S. to supply Britain with military equipment without payment in order to help them to fight against the Axis Powers. The British then went on to supply a significant part of that aid to Russia and its European Allies.
