How did the American government support Englands fight against Germany before actually declaring war?
pohnpei397 Teacher Community / Jr. College eNotes Editor Long before the US actually was drawn into World War II, Pres. Franklin D. Roosevelt thought that Germany was going to become a threat to the United States. Because of this, he started trying to think of ways to help the British in their fight with Germany. Some ways that he did this include: • The destroyers for bases deal where we gave the British some old destroyers in return for some naval bases in the Caribbean. • The Lend-Lease program where we “lent” them various military supplies (we said we were loaning them to get around laws prohibiting us from selling to them). • Using American warships to escort convoys over to near England. The US warships weren’t supposed to attack German subs, but they did radio British ships to tell them where subs were.
