Good job listing many countries that were helped by the Act. I agree that it helped our allies even though we still ended up in the war.

5) Do you support or disagree with President Roosevelt and the United States with signing and enacting the Lend Lease act, and why?

1. The Lend Lease was a way the United States could help the European countries while not going to war. The United States wanted to stay neutral because they didn't want to fight another war.

3. The countries that gained the right to participate in the Lend-Lease Act was Poland, the Netherlands, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Brazil, Paraguay, China, Soviet Union and Peru.
4. The qualifications a country had to have to be offered equipment from the Lend-Lease Act was that it would go to countries that were important and kept the United States out of the war.
5. I support President Roosevelt for signing the Lend Lease Act because those countries could have been taken over if they didn't have those supplies. Also if Hitler had taken the other countries the United States would have to fight them alone.

Yes the US helped so they would have to enter the war. I agree that those supplies helped other countries.
