I talked about the Neutrality Act of 1935.

Neutrality Act of 1936: Disallowed the distribution of loans to belligerent countries. It also banned trade with any warring country.

Neutrality Act of 1937: It forbade U.S. ships for traveling near belligerent countries. Belligerent countries could come to the U.S. with their own ships and pay for the resources, and then bring it back on their own ships.

Neutrality Act of 1939: Almost exactly the same as the 1937 act.

Bases for Destroyers: The U.S. provided Destroyers to Great Britain, and Great Britain provided the U.S. with naval bases.

Lend-Lease Act: The U.S. supplied the Allies with money and materials from 1941 to 1945.

Selective Training and Service Act: Required all men 21-35 to register for the war. When drafted they had to serve for 12 months.

Atlantic Charter: The U.S. and Great Britain's plans for post-war. No territorial gain, no territorial changes without the people's support from those countries, self determination, free trade, destruction of the Nazis and then setting up a peaceful government in Germany, freedom of the seas, abandon the use of force, disarmament and a stronger League of Nations.
