How did the lend-lease act and the Atlantic charter change the U.S. involvement in world war 2?

Answer 1

The Lend-Lease Act, signed by Roosevelt in 1941, offered the allies access to the United States vast supply of munitions and war vehicles. This was a large step away from the neutral stance that the US had taken in the 30s with the Neutrality Acts. With the Lend-Lease Act, the United States gained the ability to openly supply any war resource to the Allies, showing that the United States had taken a strong position with the Allies. The Atlantic Charter, signed later that year, was a joint agreement between Roosevelt and Churchill on their plans for the post-war world. This was significant because it showed the world that the United States wanted a hand in defining the post-war world and would no longer sit on sidelines and be non-interventionists. Following the Lend-Lease Act and the Atlantic Charter, the United States took a stronger stance against the Axis and became more involved.
