Roosevelt's Vision: United States-Britain Alliance in WWII

Franklin D. Roosevelt, like many other presidents, had a big vision for Americans and the country. When WWII came around, a plan and structure were needed. Roosevelt had a vision of a united group, but this could not be pursued without the support of the American people.
Helping Britain defend their country was a major part that played in Roosevelt's vision. He tried to convince the people of America that supporting them would be a good idea and that the country was financially stable to do so. Roosevelt thought that if they helped Britain out they would be helping America at the same time. He wanted the American citizens to accept this idea because he wanted the two countries to work fully together, “It is possible—I will put it that way—for the United States to take over British

Roosevelt had the understanding that America and Britain both obtained similar objectives which concluded them to sharing orders. He says that Britain would take orders from the US, but overall he meant that they shared the same motivations. He truly believed that if the two countries teamed up then they would both be protected, “That would be on the general theory that it may still prove true that the best defense of Great Britain is the best defense of the United States, and therefore that these materials would be more useful to the defense of the United States if they were used in Great Britain, than if they were kept in storage here”(Garden Hose Analogy). Roosevelt explained that Britain would give America a hand up in the war becuase they would have a place right in the middle of the war to be able to fight from.
