Best Answer

President Roosevelt developed the Lend Lease Act which he was able to get the Congress to approve. This Act allowed the USA to sell, lend and lease funds, military supplies, medical supplies and food to the Allied Forces. He got around the neutrality laws with this act because he justified it as a way to defend the USA against the Axis forces while remaining a neutral nation. Trust me it skated right along the edge of being unlawful.

What side did Britain take during the civil war?

Neither side. Britain remained carefully neutral for the duration of the Civil War, refusing to recognize the sovereignty of the South while continuing to trade with it, but also refusing to side with the North. Southern weaponry and other war materiel was produced in Great Britain and exported to the Confederacy through the Union blockade by Confederate blockade runners. Great Britain had become dependent on Southern cotton for its textile industry, but it had seen the Civil War coming and stockpiled cotton to make the country less dependent on Southern exports after the war began. British relations with the United States were still touchy at best, and Great Britain was not inclined to make them worse by siding openly with the Confederate States, despite a political affinity with them. The above refers to the American Civil War. In the English Civil War, Englishman was fighting Englishman.

Why neutral cross section is half the phase in three phase cable while it has to carry current of summation of all phase..?

The current carried by the neutral of a three phase four wire system is the un balanced current. If the three phase system was completely balanced on all three phases there would be no need for a neutral, eg a three phase motor. This neutral current will be less that the phase current so a reduction in the neutral size is allowed.
