In 1940, Roosevelt became the first American president to be re-elected for a third term. After he was elected, he put the Lend Lease Program into action which was meant to help Great Britain. It allowed countries fighting on the Allies side to borrow weapons and ammunition from the United States. Many Americans were against this act because they still wanted to stay out of foreign affairs.
This act still ended up going into effect and was one of the main reasons the Great Britain managed to succeed in World War 2.
