The result was island hopping attacks against Japan, followed by war against fascists in North Africa, and then victory in [[Europe]] after a D-Day ([[Operation Overlord]]) attack on Germany from France in conjunction with Red Army attacks on Germany from the East. | Roosevelt's [[Lend-Lease Act]] authorized arming Britain and the Soviet Union even before [[Pearl Harbor]] was attacked by [[Japan]].
