Allies of World War II
The initiating event that began WWII was the German Invasion of Poland. In retaliation, Great Britain and France declared war on Germany. This event took place on September 1, 1939 and Poland remained under German control until January, 1945.
The countries that were involved in WWII were Germany, Italy, Japan, Great Britain, France, United States, the Soviet Union, Canada, and Poland. There were two groups in WWII: the Axis Powers and the Allied Powers. The countries in the Axis Powers were Germany, Italy, and Japan, while on the Allied Powers were Great Britain, France, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Canada. The Soviet Union was originally on the Axis Powers with Germany in the Non-Aggression Pact that came to an end with Germany attacked the Soviet Union, causing the country to join the Allied Powers.
The Lend-Lease Act
The Lend-Lease Act was passed on March 11, 1941 by FDR. It allowed the U.S to aid countries on the Allied Powers in return for military bases in the Caribbean. This ended their previous neutrality, but they had not become directly involved.
