President Roosevelt would have loved to aid Britain by sending over men and equipment to fight in that war. The Congress would never have approved it. When the Japanese attacked the US then the Congress was willing to declare war on Japan and Roosevelt got his wish when Adolf Hitler declared war on the US six days later. The Congress approve fighting in Europe then. Winston Churchill came over to the US to explain the problem in Europe so the Congress would know they were not fighting a vain war as the US had in World War 1.
