A New Deal for America
Natalie Herklotz
Neutrality Acts
1935: We won't sell any weapons or ammunition to any countries at war! This will keep the United States out of the middle of conflict between fighting nations.
1936: Extends provisions of the 1935 act and forbids all loans to belligerents.
1937: U.S. ships still could not transport people or weapons to countries in war, citizens now can't travel on the ships of fighting nations.
1939: We will only sell weapons on a cash-and-carry basis. Which means Europe can buy guns only if they used their own ships to get them and paid in cash!
Destroyer- for- Bases
America will trade Navy ships to Britain in exchange for certain military bases for free rent.
Lend-Lease Act of 1941
Lending arms to countries in need (Great Britain, USSR, Free France, Republic of china, and other Allied nations) shows our support, but keeps us physically out of the war!
