Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies

The Committee to Defend America by Aiding the Allies was an influential American organization founded in 1940, during World War II. It aimed to support Allied nations fighting against Axis powers, particularly Nazi Germany. Advocating for greater military aid and intervention, the committee sought to shift public opinion in the United States toward supporting the Allies, helping to counter isolationist sentiments at the time. It played a key role in promoting policies like the Lend-Lease Act, which allowed the U.S. to supply arms and resources to Allied countries, thereby strengthening their efforts in the war.
