Lend-Lease (Pub.L. 77-11, H.R.
1776, 55 Stat. 3034, enacted March 11, 1941) was the program under which the
United States of America supplied the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, China,
Free France, and other Allied nations with materiel between 1941 and 1945. It
was signed into law on March 11, 1941, a year and a half after the outbreak of
World War II in Europe in September 1939 but nine months before the U.S.
entered the war in December 1941. Formally titled An Act to Further Promote the
Defense of the United States, the Act effectively ended the United States'
pretense of neutrality.
A total of $50.1 billion
(equivalent to $647 billion today) worth of supplies were shipped: $31.4
billion to Britain, $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union, $3.2 billion to France,
and $1.6 billion to China. Reverse Lend-Lease comprised services such as rent
on air bases that went to the U.S., and totaled $7.8 billion; of this, $6.8
billion came from the British and the Commonwealth. The terms of the agreement
provided that the material were to be used until time for their return or
destruction. Supplies after the termination date were sold to Britain at a
discount for £1.075 billion using long-term loans from the United States.
Canada operated a similar program that sent $4.7 billion in supplies to the
United Kingdom and the Soviet Union. The United States did not charge for aid
supplied under this legislation.
This program was a decisive
step away from non-interventionist policy, which had dominated United States
foreign relations since the end of World War I, towards international
involvement.
