The U.S. Congress passed the Neutrality Act of 1939, which allowed Britain and France to buy arms from the United States on a "cash-and-carry" basis. This meant they had to pay in cash and transport the munitions in their own ships, avoiding the risk of U.S. ships being targeted by German submarines and keeping the U.S. out of the conflict.
