In June 1941, Germany invaded Russia. The invasion was called the 'operation Barbarossa'. Russia put up a good defense and kept the Germans at bay for some months.
The 1941 Lend-Lease Act enabled the president to sell or lease arms to any nation critical to national defense.
The Office of Civilian Defense (OCD) was created before the attack on Pearl Harbor, established in May 1941. Its primary purpose was to coordinate civil defense efforts in the United States, preparing citizens for potential air raids and other wartime emergencies. The agency focused on training volunteers, organizing local defense programs, and promoting safety measures. The attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 highlighted the urgency of these preparations.
A. Philip Randolph threatened a march on Washington in 1941 to protest racial discrimination in defense industries and to demand equal job opportunities for African Americans. The threat of this large-scale demonstration pressured President Franklin D. Roosevelt to issue Executive Order 8802, which prohibited racial discrimination in the defense workforce. As a result, this marked a significant step toward civil rights, leading to increased awareness and activism around racial equality in the workplace.
The Lend-Lease Act, an act of Congress passed during World War II authorizing the President to â??sell, transfer title to, exchange, lease, lend, or otherwise dispose of . . . any defense articleâ?? to any country whose defense was deemed vital to the defense of the United States. The act was approved on March 11, 1941, while the United States was still officially neutral.
