Key Notes
American wartime aid to the Soviet Union, presented by Jiang as forced by the need to prevent Germany from controlling Soviet resources.
American Lend-Lease is presented as effectively industrializing the Soviet war effort because fear of German conquest made U.S. support unavoidable.
Jiang argues that the actual scenario, Germany attacking and nearing Soviet destruction, forced Britain and America to help the Soviet Union because German control of Soviet resources would make Germany invincible.
Jiang claims America gave the Soviet Union $200 billion in free aid from 1941 to 1945 through Lend-Lease.
Jiang claims American Lend-Lease effectively industrialized the Soviet Union by giving weapons, resources, technology, transportation, heavy industry inputs, and food.
Jiang says the Soviet Union could reverse engineer American technology and build its own industry after receiving Lend-Lease support.
