Question

How did President Roosevelt get around the Neutrality Acts after Japan invaded China in 1937? A. pressuring Congress to add cash and carry provisions to the acts. B. selling decommissioned naval ships to American arms merchants. C. allowing the transportation of arms to the Chinese on British ships. D. ignoring Soviet efforts to smuggle American-made arms into China.

Answer 1

C. allowing the transportation of arms to the Chinese on British ships.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Japan invaded China, President Roosevelt allowed for British ships to transport China's purchased war goods (arms). This bent the rules of the Cash and Carry policy which basically is this policy that allows the U.S to sell war goods to any nation as long as it's paid in cash and that the goods are carried away on the buyer's own ships. The purpose of this policy was for the U.S to maintain its neutrality and isolationism.

Answer 2

"Allowing the transportation of arms to the Chinese on British ships" is the way President Roosevelt got around the Neutrality Acts after Japan invaded China in 1937. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C". I hope that the answer has helped you.
