President Roosevelt ends the military embargo. As a result the United States can sell military supplies to other nations. Fighter jets, boats and other supplies are shipped to France and England from Staten Island. In Stockholm, Scandinavian countries meet to discuss military alliances. Crowds of people hold up flags and banners. In Finland, they build trenches and bunkers to protect themselves from the Russians. Families then evacuate the city.
