Answer 1

Answer: After Germany invaded Poland, President Roosevelt asked Congress to repeal the embargo section of the Neutrality Act and to approve the sale of arms to Britain and France on a cash-and-carry basis. He also traded 50 over-age destroyers to Britain in return for the right of the United States to establish naval and air bases on British territory in the Western Hemisphere. To aid the British, he proposed a lend-lease arrangement, and to protect shipment of this to Britain, he ordered American warships in 1941 to shoot on sight any German submarines in the North Atlantic.

Answer 2

Answer: When, in 1933, Hitler came to power in Germany, he renounced the Treaty of Versailles, but it provoked little reaction from the United States because of a strong neutrality sentiment. Congress responded to fascist aggression in Ethiopia and Spain as well as the German annexation of Austria and part of Czechoslovakia by passing a series of neutrality acts. These acts hampered President Roosevelt in his desire to aid the victims of aggression. In 1939, Germany's invasion of Poland marked the official beginning of World War II.
