F D R Pledges U S Support To Allies In Fight
President Roosevelt pledged the United States to aid the Allies with material resources as war in Europe intensified. In a bristling Virginia address to the University of Virginia graduates he warned of a possible “helpless nightmare” if the gods of force prevail and signaled a shift from neutrality toward active support. Congress moved to expand the navy, air force, and army, while Italy’s entry into the war drew denouncements and fueled U S determination to aid Britain and France. Roosevelt outlined dual paths: bolster defense at home and extend aid to opponents of force abroad.
