Describe two actions the US took to support the allies?

Roosevelt sought a few ways to help the allies. For instance, he asked Congress to withdraw the neutrality law which banned the sale of arms to countries occupied in war. Although some isolationists blocked his move, FDR still managed to make a compromise that the United States could sell arms to the Allies under the "cash-and-carry" plan. The "cash-and-carry" plan was that the allies had to pay cash for the goods and carry them on their own ships. Another way the United States helped the allies was the fifty old American war ships. By 1940, German submarines took down many British ships. When they needed help, President Roosevelt agreed to give then fifty old American destroyers. Once again, there was a catch in this move. In exchange for the fifty old American destroyers, Britain gave the United States 99-year leases on military bases in Newfoundland and the Caribbean.

Why did the Allies believe Okinawa was a foretaste of an invasion of Japan?

It was one of the last places prior to invading the main islands of Japan. They Japanese defense was strong and took a lot of effort and men to overcome it. If the US had to invade the main islands, there would have been tens of thousands of casualties. ========= The battle for Okinawa was different from other battles with Japan in that there was a significant civilian population on Okinawa. There were reports of many civilians committing suicide in the midst of the battle. American forces 'believed Okinawa was a foretaste of an invasion of Japan' due to the prescence of civilian populations and didn't want to percipitate civilian suicides. Atomic bombs unfortunateky had the same effect but at least the war was bought to a much faster end and overall much fewer deaths on both sides. Estimates are that many hundreds of thousands of lives were saved by bringing the war to a faster end.
