In late 1940, Roosevelt trades destroyers to British in return for access to bases in our hemisphere, commits to lend lease, and meets with Churchill to draft Atlantic Charter that projects the "shape" of a post-war world, Privately Roosevelt tells Churchill that he expects the United States to become involved with the allied war effort. American ships begin to protect convoys crossing Atlantic. In the summer of 1941, Germany invades the Soviet Union despite the non-aggression pact the two countries signed in 1939. Historians debate over why Germany invaded Russia. As Alan Brinkley comments, Germany's miscalculation may not have been taking on a second front but in underestimating how difficult it would be to defeat Russia.
