people needed cargo like guns and amo. They were not aloud to trade or give them these supplies untill the u.s. made and offer to give allies what they need but had to come get it and take it back on there own ships. Hitler got angry and shot any cargo ships that he saw. The u.s. and churchill made a declaration called atlantic charter. Had a right to trade among nations.

The Lend Lease act was the first real step into the war for the United States. And in the end was the leading cause for the Atlantic Charter and the United States eventually joining the allies in WW2. Without the Lend Lease act the United States would have never had and contact with european countries during the war which mean's more likely than not they would've stayed out of the whole war and possibly caused the Allies to lose against the Central powers.

The purpose of the Lend-Lease Act was to stop all selling and trading of guns and other weapons, and wouldnt allow coountries to give others money in war. The president could lend or lease weapons to any country vital to the United States. The Lend-Lease Act would effect the Atlantic Charted because the Atlantic Charter stated that there was free trade among nations, but the Lend--Lease act stopped all trade.

The lend-lease act was a agreement between the president and congress that aloud other countries to buy or lease out american products, but they had to carry them on their own ships. President Roosevelt pushed for the act because he knew if the allies fell that the united states would be drawn into the war. and the united states got involved when a german boat fired on a american ships. then roosevelt ordered the american ships to no matter what to fire on german submarines.

The importance of the Lead-Lease Act was that the Allies in Europe could receive weapons from the U.S. This helped the Allies start to lead America into the war. The U.S. navy would lead the British cargo ships back to Europe. The Atlantic Charter was a private meeting between president Roosevelt and Churchill to make free trade between the nations. Eventually, Hitler started sinking any U.S. ships that came over to Europe. The Americans started an undeclared naval war with Hitler.

In the beginning,weapons were illegal to sell or lend money to nations at war. Then the lend-lease act was passed in March 1941 and it was made legal that you could lease arms and other supplies to any country vital to the United States.A joint declaration was issued called the Atlantic Charter.It upheld free trade among nations and the right of people to choose their own government.

The Lend-Lease Act made it so the Allies could trade and lend and lease arms and to any other countries vital to the United States. The Lend-Lease Act was a secret to the Germans and so was the Atlantic Charter . The Atlantic Act upheld free trade among the nations and the right of people to choose their own government. The U.S were involved in the war because they thought the Germans shot a U.S boat, but it was actually Japan who shot the U.S boat.

the land lease act is like a balanced function to us we need the money to fund the government and they need the weapons for the war but with the atlantic charter caused hitler to sink any supply ships that were with the allied countries causing roosevelt to act upon the germans fire and he declared that all U.S. ships should fire on any german ships and submarines. this caused the U.S. to fight against germany making them become a part of world war 2

The purpose of the lend-lease act was to sell weapons to the U.S's allies. It stated that america could sell firearms to the allied states. This lead to german U-boats firing on the U.S ships. This made president Roosevelt launch a counter attack. This however did not bring the U.S into the war that was left to japan.

The Lend-Lease Act allowed the president to lend or lease arms or other supplies to any country vital to the United States. The purpose was because if the allies fell they knew they would be drawn into the war. The Lend-Lease Act impacted the Atlantic Charter because the Atlantic Charter was free trade among nations. A German U-boat fired at a U.S. destroyer. So Roosevelt ordered to shoot German submarines. And then they became involved in the war.

The purpose of the Lend- Lease act they would lend supplies to other allied countries. The United States involvement was that the German U-Boats attacked the U.S. The U.S became involved with Hitler but the war was originally from Japan.

The purpose of the Lend-Lease Act was so President Roosevelt could lend or lease guns or any other important items to any country that was important to the United States. It would have a big impact on the Atlantic Charter because the U.S. Navy was escorting British ships carrying U.S. arms, and the Atlantic Charter upheld free trade among nations. Hitler ordered his ships to sink any cargo ships. The Charter would later serve as a peace plan to end WWII.

The purpose of the Lend-Lease Act was passed in March 1940. The president could lend and lease arms and other supplies to any country in the United States. By 1940 the U.S. Navy was escorting British ships carrying U.S. arms. Then response Hitler ordered his submarines to sink any cargo ships they saw that had U.S. arms. Then the impact it had on the Alantic and WW1 is Rosevelt and Churchill met secretly and issued a joint declaration called the Alantic Charter. Then a German u-boat fired on an U.S. destroyer in the Alantic. Rosevelt ordered navy commanders to shoot German submarines on sight. The united states was now involved in an undeclared war.

The purpose of the Lend-Lease Act was to not get The United States involved in the war. As long as their allies had weapons and didn't go down, they didn't need them to go in. All they needed to do is help their allies with selling/leasing arms to them. The impact it would have on the Atlantic Charter is that everyone could trade arms freely among each other. U.S. wasn't drawn into war by Germany but by Japan creating a new war among U.S. and Japan (Pearl Harbor).
