04 Jun 08 Lend-Lease

The Lend-Lease Act of 1941 was passed in March of that year, which allowed the United States to lend supplies to the UK while still remaining neutral.

It wasn’t until 1994 that Russia finally began to pay back the debts of the former USSR, who had refused to do so,and the UK finally repaid the last of its debt in late 2006.
