FDR Foreign Policies
Ryo Yoshida
Keep Americans Out of the War!!
- Roosevelt will pass the Neutrality Acts, laws made to prevent the United States from being sucked into the turmoil of the war and to maintain neutrality
- No American can sail on a belligerent ship, sell or make loans to a belligerent
Destroyers for Bases
- Send British Navy Destroyer ships in exchange for bases in Britain
- It would not violate the Neutrality Act and will not leave the American public unhappy
- Support for Britain but still maintain neutrality
US: The Supplier of Weapons
- The Lend Lease Act allows the US to lend weapons to countries to help defend themselves from the Axis Powers
Atlantic Charter: Promoting Peace for the Future
- US's Roosevelt and Britain's Churchill pledged not to acquire new territory as a result of World War II and to promote peace after the war
