8. Neutrality Acts (1935 - 1939)
Cash and Carry Policy (September 1939)
Lend-Lease Act (March 1941)
What would be the best title for this list ?
Answer: "World War II: From Isolationism to Involvement"
Explanation: It loosened over time. "World War II: From Isolationism to Involvement" would be the best name for this list. When the first Neutrality Act was passed in 1935, the U.S. hoped to isolate itself from European- and Asian- affairs completely. But over time this stance softened: the expansion of Germany, Italy, and Japan was the main cause of this. By the time the U.S. officially entered the fighting following the attack on Pearl Harbor in December of 1941, the U.S. was steadily supplying its allies with war materiel.
9.When war erupted in Europe in 1939, the response of the United States was

11. The Lend-Lease Act was an attempt by the United States to
Answer: let England borrow weapons in the early 1940s.
Explanation: The title is very telling. As in World War I, the United States was trying to distance itself from events in Europe (and in the Pacific). The country was not yet ready to participate in another war, but it did not want to just let Fascist dictatorships take control of the whole of Europe, either. The Lend-Lease Act did, essentially, end U.S. neutrality by agreeing to let England borrow weapons in the early 1940s, but American troops would not be committed until after Pearl Harbor late in 1941.
12.Using the provided quote from President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and your knowledge of World War II, what is he asking Congress to do in the provided speech?
Answer: To declare war on Japan
