The Lend-Lease was a program that the United States supplied the UK, the Soviet Union, China, France, and other Allied nations with vast amounts of War material between 1941 and 1945.  The lend-lease act began in March 1941, over 18 months after the outbreak of war in September 1939.  It was called an Act further to promote the defense of the United States.  Hitler recognized this and had his submarines attack US ships such as the unarmed SS Robin Moor, which was destroyed by a German U-Boat on May 21, 1941 outside of teh War Zone.  A total of $50.1 billiion worth of supplies were shipped: $31.4 billion to Britain, $11.3 billion to Russia, $3.2 billion to France, adn $1.6 billion to China.
