Why was the United States referred to as the Arsenal of Democracy?

The United States was called the “Arsenal of Democracy” because it manufactured and supplied weapons, vehicles, food, and other essential goods to the Allied nations during World War II. The phrase refers to its role as a major source of war supplies, not simply its political power. Therefore, the correct choice is “It produced vital war supplies for the entire Allied war effort.”
