War Loans

War loans are funds raised by governments during times of conflict to finance military operations and support wartime activities. Citizens, companies, or organizations can lend money to the government, often purchasing war bonds or treasury bills. In return, lenders receive interest and a promise that their principal will be repaid after the war. This practice not only provides vital financial resources for defense efforts but also encourages public investment in the nation’s security, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and patriotism among citizens.
