Question

The Lend-Lease Act allowed the United States to: provide the Central Powers the financial backing the needed to win World War II. give Japan war supplies to defeat the French in Asia. sell or lend equipment to countries fighting against the Axis Powers. provide war supplies to aid Germany with its war against the Soviet Union.

Answer 1

The Lend-Lease Act, which was officially titled "An Act to Promote the Defense of the United States", was a US legislation approved by Congress in March, 1941 before the US became directly involved in World War II. It set forth a policy for aiding nations (most notably the United Kingdom and Soviet Union) who stood against the Axis Powers (Germany, Italy, Japan, and their allies).Choice "A" and choice "D" are incorrect because they talk about providing aid to the Axis powers, which is opposite to the objectives of the Lend-Lease Act. Choice "B" is also incorrect; no aid was provided to Japan, which was part of the Axis.This finally gives us choice "C": The United States sold or lent equipment to countries standing against the Axis Powers in WW2, which is coherent with the historical circumstances surrounding the enactment of this policy.
