WORLD HISTORY

Detailed explanation-1: -The purpose of this policy was to allow the Allied nations at war with Germany to purchase war materials while maintaining a semblance of neutrality for the United States.

Detailed explanation-2: -FDR suggested amending the act to allow warring nations to purchase munitions if they paid cash and transported the goods on non-American ships, a policy that favored Britain and France.

Detailed explanation-3: -Cash and carry was a policy requested by U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt on September 21, 1939 to replace the Neutrality Acts of 1936. The revision allowed the sale of materiel to belligerents, as long as the recipients arranged for the transport using their own ships and paid immediately in cash.

Detailed explanation-4: -U.S. Cash and Carry The legislation, passed and signed by Roosevelt in November 1939, allowed belligerents to purchase war materiel if they could pay cash for it and arrange for its transportation on board their own ships.

Detailed explanation-5: -The Neutrality Acts were laws passed in 1935, 1936, 1937, and 1939 to limit U.S. involvement in future wars. They were based on the widespread disillusionment with World War I in the early 1930s and the belief that the United States had been drawn into the war through loans and trade with the Allies.

Detailed explanation-6: -Why did the 1939 cash-and-carry amendment to the Neutrality Acts favor Britain over Germany? Britain had a larger fleet of ships to carry arms than Germany. How did the Destroyers for Bases agreement President Roosevelt signed help Britain and its allies? The agreement put US bases on British territory.
