Why wasn't American military aid for Russia in the Second World War mostly sent across the Pacific?
Were there any specific reasons why the US sent aid to Russia via the North Atlantic or by direct flights rather than through the Pacific?
Yes, there were several reasons for this. Firstly, the long distance and difficult terrain made it challenging to send large amounts of aid across the Pacific. Secondly, the US was already heavily engaged in fighting the Japanese in the Pacific, so it made more sense to send aid via the North Atlantic route. Lastly, the Soviet Union shared a border with Nazi Germany, so it was easier and more practical to send aid directly through Europe.
