APUSH Unit 8 Test Review Flashcards
Neutrality Acts
The 1935 act, signed on August 31, 1935, imposed a general embargo on trading in arms and war materials with all parties in a war. The Neutrality Act of 1936 renewed the provisions of the 1935 act for another 14 months and forbade all loans or credits to belligerents. 1937: Joint resolution outlawing arms trade with Spain (in a civil war); cash-and-carry system created. 1939: Repealed previous Neutrality Acts, cash-and-carry renewed.
Destroyers for Bases Agreement
Between the United States and the United Kingdom on September 2 1940, fifty mothballed destroyers were transferred to the United Kingdom from the United States Navy in exchange for land rights on British possessions.
Cash and Carry
A policy requested by U.S. President Franklin Delano Roosevelt at a special session of the United States Congress on September 21, 1939; replaced the Neutrality Acts of 1939; allowed the sale of material to belligerents, as long as the recipients arranged for the transport using their own ships and paid immediately in cash, assuming all risk in transportation.
Neutrality Patrol
US Navy Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) established combined air and ship patrol of the US Atlantic coast, including Caribbean Sea in 1939. FDR declared the United States’ neutrality and declared it a Neutrality Patrol. Patrol actually favored the British because the Royal Navy had significantly greater access to the Atlantic.
Lend Lease Act
Program under which the United States supplied Great Britain, the USSR, Republic of China, Free France, and other Allied nations with materiel between 1941 and August 1945. Likened by FDR to lending a neighbor a hose to put out a fire. The war equipment was borrowed, not paid for, and most were not returned.
