The US was involved in World War II from the beginning, It was just not fighting, It was helping its allies with supplies, and doing reconnaissance. activities for Britain and other countries. The US almost got in the war early because of tactical errors, and even listed casualties in the year or so before officially joining the war.

The incident that forced the US to actually declare war was the attack by Japanese carrier planes on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on December 7, 1941. Congress declared war on Japan the following day.

The US was attacked without having war declared upon them. The attack on Pearl Harbor was the first aggressive act that the US was involved in during World War 2. Technically we were involved before by providing funds, weapons and ships to our allies prior to the attack. After December 7, 1941 - we di not hold back but went into the war full force.
