A. The program lent military supplies to our allies.
The Lend-Lease Act, officially known as the An Act to Promote the Defense of the United States (Public Law 77-11), was a program under which the United States supplied the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China, France, and other Allied nations with vast amounts of war material between 1941 and 1945. The concept was to lend or lease supplies to countries whose defense was deemed vital to the defense of the United States, without the need for immediate payment. It helped the Allies fight against Axis powers by greatly bolstering their ability to procure weapons, vehicles, and other essential wartime materials.
