This Day in Soviet-American History
On this day in 1941, the U.S. Congress authorized $7 billion in Lend-Lease aid to the Soviet Union soon to be fighting Germany in World War II, with more billions to follow both before and after our entry into the war. I often wonder if the Germans would have knocked the Soviet Union out of the war had we not helped with trucks and spam. It's something we'll never know for sure, but the trend lines are against it.
