Did the Americans support Franklin D. Roosevelt is going to war with japan?

Answer 1

Yes they did because the Japanese bomb Pearl Harbor and people wanted to go to war. Yes, the United States had been attacked and the people seemed to understand that the enemy had to be stopped. Unlike today, where so many people want to pretend that nothing has happened.

Answer 2

Roosevelt, not being a dictator, but an elected official, had to build a consensus of his fellow leaders in Congress before he could act to assist the country's allies in Europe. For this reason, much assistance was actually given in the form of material and support long before the U.S. actually joined the fighting. There were many political and diplomatic consequences to any actions that the U.S. could take at that time. Moreover, the U.S. was not really prepared to go to war just yet. These and many other things had to be taken into consideration by Roosevelt and the other elected leaders of the U.S. before any commitments could be made. The U.S. was very close to entering the war in Europe just prior to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor. This attack just hastened the entrance into the war.

In to this question... Yes. Roosevelt wanted to enter the war to aid our allies who were struggling mightily against Nazi Germany at that time. The fate of Europe was in the balance. And no. Roosevelt didn't want to go to war. No sane leader of a non-belligerent, free country ever does. Circumstances force their hands sometimes.

Answer 3

After the attack on Pearl Harbor - yes. He had been trying to convince Congress to agree to allow US troops to join in the war to support the allied forces. He was given the go ahead to support them financially and with supplies but they did not agree to war until we were attacked.
