Why did the Lending Act save the Soviet Union, China and Britain and the whole world?
If you want to know the meaning of the lease law, you must first understand what the lease law is. This bill was born in World War II. With the deepening of the war, the United States provided military equipment from weapons to tanks to the participating countries, both military supplies and food supplies, but it was not involved in the war itself. Although there is no provision in the bill that it cannot be provided by Germany, Italy and Japan, in fact, no materials were provided to Germany, Italy and Japan after the bill was passed.

Of course, this bill is free at some times, such as some ships, which will be returned to the United States after the war. Of course, the United States will also get the right to lease some bases in allied territories, including the navy and army. Some assistance in the Lending Law is paid, whether paid or unpaid. Without this alliance of Lending Act, the Second World Anti-Fascist War could not be won.

The original intention of the Lending Act was to help Britain. Because Britain was short of cash at that time, it was impossible to spend money on American munitions during Britain's war with Italy and Germany. Out of sympathy and help for Britain, the United States promulgated this lease act. Later, China and the Soviet Union joined the bill. At that time, a quarter of British weapons were rented, as well as planes, food, ships and so on.

For the Soviet Union, due to the war, the railway transportation in its territory was seriously damaged, so about 90% of the railway equipment was provided through the lease bill. In addition, some heavy weapons, such as tanks and planes, were acquired through bills.

The Lease Act provides China with transportation equipment, arms, all kinds of heavy weapons, machine guns, artillery and so on. There are also various medical supplies and instruments.

It can be said that the final victory was achieved because the Lending Act provided strong support for countries that fought against Germany, Italy and Japan in the Second World War.
