How to get across, like the USA pre-1917 and 1941? (9)
I believe the answer is:
laterally
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'how to get across' is the first definition.
'like the usa pre-1917 and 1941?' is the second definition.
(the USA later became an ally)
(Other definitions for laterally that I've seen before include "Approaching the side" , "Sideways" .)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
