Japan Joins the Axis Later in September 1940, Japan entered into a formal military alliance with Italy and Germany, the Rome-Berlin-Tokyo Axis

Actions in Support of the Allies despite America’s Neutrality Destroyers for Bases September 1940 – FDR arranged the destroyers for bases deal … The US supplied Britain with 50 destroyers In exchange the US got 99-year, rent free leases of naval bases in various British possessions in the Carribbean

The Lend Lease Act March 1941 – Congress passed the Lend-Lease Act, permitting the US to lend arms and other supplies to “any country whose defense the President deems vital to the defense of the United States”
