End of neutrality policy [edit]. The end of neutrality policy came with the Lend-Lease Act of March 1941, which allowed the U.S. to sell, lend or give war materials to nations the administration wanted to support.
Arlington Heights, Illinois. Arlington Heights is a town in Cook County and Lake County in the U.S. state of Illinois. A suburb of Chicago, it lies about 25 miles (40 km) northwest of the city's downtown. The population was 75,101 at the 2010 census.
A fact that amazes many Arlington visitors is that it is not a city but a self-governing county. The absence of towns inside its borders makes it the countryâs smallest county that governs itself. If Arlington were a city, it would be the fourth largest in Virginia with its land area of 26 square miles and population of over 200,000. Located directly across from Washington, D.C., on the Potomac Riverâs south bank, all bridges connecting it to the nationâs capital have pedestrian lanes.
