describe how lend-lease worked.(SHORT ANSWER)

1 answer

Lend-Lease was a program initiated by the United States during World War II to provide military aid to allies, particularly the United Kingdom, Soviet Union, and China. Under this program, the U.S. supplied weapons, equipment, and supplies on a borrowed or leased basis rather than as outright gifts. The receiving countries were expected to return the materials or provide equivalent support after the war. This system allowed the U.S. to support its allies without direct involvement in the conflict initially, bolstering their military capabilities while also stimulating the American economy through increased production.
