In the Lend-Lease program, the U.S. provided military and other supplies to foreign nations, primarily Allied powers, during World War II in exchange for the ability to access strategic military bases and ensure the security of the United States. The program aimed to bolster the defense of nations like Britain and the Soviet Union, while also promoting economic ties and preparing for U.S. involvement in the war. It effectively allowed these countries to fight against Axis powers, with the understanding that they would return or compensate for the materials post-war.
