Before the United States entered the Second World War in late 1941, the US wasn’t an active combatant, but it wasn't entirely neutral. 

In December 1940, after the Nazi invasion of France, President Franklin Roosevelt initiated a program to assist the British who were being assailed on all fronts by the Germans. 

He likened it to helping a neighbor out when their house was on fire.

The program continued throughout the war and changed the course of the entire conflict.
