It included warships, fighter jets and other weapons.

It became law on March 11, 1941 and was repealed in September 1945. In general, the aid was free, although some equipment, such as ships, were returned after the end of the war. In exchange for the aid, the United States received the lease of military and naval bases in the territory of its allied countries during the war.
