The united states was already helping the UK in the war in Europe. Japan was in the axis powers with Germany and Italy when we declared war on them because of what happened at pearl harbor. So it was a given that we had to go to war in Europe because of the US helping the UK and Japan's alliance with Germany and Italy.
My Veiw:When Japan attacked Pearl harbour it forced the USA to join the war.Since the government of the USA understood that the more dangerous and immediate danger was The European mess.
So the USA joined in the European portion of the war also with the idea of holding the Japanese at bay until the European campaign was won. Then defeating the Japanese
That was not what happened But it is what was thought by the US government of the time.
Yes, the code was already broken right before the attack on Pearl Harbor even started. President Roosevelt already knew about the Japanese was going to attack Pearl Harbor, but he didn't know for sure if it was true.

Japan thought that the US was going to attack them so Japan attacked us first even though we were not going to attack them. And pearl harbor ended when Japan ran out of planes on there carriers.
There are books written that state that the US did know.
The attack on pearl harbor had a profound effect on the American people. Before this Roosevelt was looking for ways to aide the allied powers without angering the isolationists. The Pearl Harbor attack created an overwhelming sence of nationalism comparable to the aftermath of 9/11. Most people supported the idea of going to war with Japan after the attack.
The United States Navy Commanders and Roosevelt felt they would attack elsewhere such at the Philippines, Midway or the west coast. Therefore Pearl Harbor had their guard down. The Commanding officer of the Pearl Harbor base and fleet lost his command due to his failure to have the sailors ready for action at all times. Roosevelt was in the middle of negotiations with a Japanese official at the time of the attack. Radio messages and warnings went unheeded so Pearl Harbor was descimated due to failures on the part of communications officers.
Without the attack on Pearl Harbor, there would have been only two wars going on: One in Europe, and one in Asia. Pearl Harbor brought the US into the war, making it a GLOBAL WAR.
The Attack on Pearl Harbor started WWII for the Americans but it was already going in Europe for several years. After the attack the Unites States declared war on Japan and Germany bringing the U.S. into the war.

Yes, the attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack. The nation of Japan was going to tell America that it was coming but the Japanese man typing the message was having problems with the English language. NO DIP SHERLOCK!
War in Europe and war in Asia.
The US began it's involvement in WW2 on December 8, 1941.The day after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
