That was the Lend Lease Act. The US "Loaned" Great Britan some old (WW I vintage) destroyers "Four Stackers" and in return the US "Leased" bases on British lands (One place was Bermuda).
The destroyer transfer of 50 "Flush Deck (Four Piper)" Clemson Class Destroyers occurred in 1940.
After incurring heavy debt from wars with France including the Seven Years Wars and the French and Indian Wars, Britain decided to recoup its losses by setting up a mercantile system in its wealthy Atlantic coast colonies. Harsh tax laws like the Stamp and Townshend Acts drew a very negative response from colonists. These hostilities eventually led to the Thirteen Colonies War of Independence against Great Britain.
britain lost a great deal in the war, most of her empire was pawned to pay America for her help (ie for lend lease) . All it did gain was the moral high ground because she was the only one to stand up against the Nazi's alone when all others (countries) were resigned to accepting that the Nazi's were here to stay. Plus we don't have to speak German and eat sauerkraut.
Neither country dealt with it perfectly, leading to uprisings among the colonials. France certainly did worse, leading to bloody wars in French Indochina and Algeria. Britain lost Palestine, Egypt, and India, and fought a war in Malaysia. Yet, both countries managed to remain world powers, even if they had to share it with the USA, USSR, and China.
In general, the same as in other wars of that era. Specifically, there was a great deal of trench-warfare. Chemical weapons were used. There were new inventions such as the tank and the fighter plane.
In 1940, Great Britain and the United States made a "destroyers for bases" agreement that saw fifty destroyer-vessels pass into the hands of Great Britain in exchange for American access to (and some control over) various bases located around the world. This agreement provided much-needed help to Great Britain, as it was the only opponent of the Axis at the time and was suffering especially from the German submarine campaign against its merchant shipping.
The bodies of people who die in Great Britain are buried or cremated.
Yes, for Great Britain.
In 1940 France had surrendered and Great Britain was in a crisis. Winston Churchill requested that US destroyers be furnished to Britain in exchange for naval base leases. President Roosevelt informed Churchill that such a deal would require Congressional authorization and it would not at that time be a wise decision to request this from the Congress.
To have Great Britain Pay for it
There was a deal between Germany and Britain that Germany will not attack France but Hitler break the deal and attacked France, hence Britain jumped into the world war 2.
The destroyer transfer of 50 "Flush Deck (Four Piper)" Clemson Class Destroyers occurred in 1940.
France is one, but only from the very bottom of Great Britain, the port of Deal is about 25 miles away from the border of France, not very far away at all! Norway is another but Great Britain isn't extremley close to it, just its neighbour.
World War 2 broke out in Europe during 1939 and effected a great deal of Britain. Aberdeen was one of the towns effected, including their primary school being hit by a bomb.
Not a great deal. It is a very inert gas.
Britain at the time was one of the most powerful, if not the most powerful nations in the world. Its colonies and its dominance on trade brought it a great deal of wealth. It had also come out on the winning side of several long conflicts, such as the Seven Years War. The Scientific Revolution had also gifted Britain with many great minds who played a crucial role in the industrial revolution. Finally, Britain was rich with resources such as coal and iron, both of which were necessary for industry.
they dont thats why they're extict in Britain and the rest of the world ( apart from america)
