If you want to read about the British propaganda campaign to overcome US neutrality and get them into the war you should read "Selling the War" by Nicholas John Cull.
Churchill got his Lend Lease in 1941 without an American war committment so he was dancing in the streets when Pearl Harbour happened. His next successful sell was to have a Europe First policy probably against America's real interests in the Pacific. Lang Last edited by Lang; 03-11-16 at 01:41. |

During the later WW2 days, the Americans were pressurising Britain , the US policy was the 'empire' days are over . Colonial territories and mandates were to be given up . FDR was directly cajoling Churchill over this , FDR was very much a anti colonial person.

That's why America took a mandate over the Marshall Islands, American Samoa, Panama Canal Zone and a number of others???
