The Origins of and Battle for the Passage of the Lend-Lease Act, 1940-1941

Abstract

The purpose of this paper will be to examine how lend-lease evolved from the earlier attempt at aiding Britain. Rather than trying to delve into the origins of the destroyer-bases deal of September 1940, I will cover the period after September until March 1941, with respect to the Lend-Lease Bill proper. A certain amount of background, however, will be necessary.
