Could you reference those documents? I am aware of deals with England for long term base leases elsewhere, but I am unfamiliar with the documents that support that there were deals for long term leases (or whatever instrument was used) on Continental Europe.but there were arms for bases deals between England and the US prior to pearl harbor, in which the US would get bases in mainland Europe if we supplied England.
HORSESHIT--This U.S. was in a period of isolation--we didn't want ANYTHING to do with what Nazi Germany was doing. We were suffering from the Great Depression--we had a great democrat CONSERVATIVE President--who only wanted to get this country up off it's knees.
When the Japanese attacked us at Pearl Harbor--Winson Churchill was doing backfilps in his office. He knew that the Japanese & the Germans just bit the big one. US.
the historical documents disagree with you. the American people were isolationist, yes. as 81 percent of the country before December 7, was against getting involved the war. FDR, however, was FAR from being isolationist.
