Reasons for US involvement in World War 2?

Answer 1

That was pretty much it. Although everybody recognised the fascist regimes for the evil that they were, and some people did want to fight against them, the overwhelming mood of the country was one of isolationism. Pearly Harbor made people mad and made them realize that there was no safety in isolationist policies. Michael Montagne

To be fair, while Pearl Harbor could be argued as the trigger point for U.S. entry, the U.S. likely would have remained neutral in the European war if Germany hadn't declared war immediately afterwards, and the fact that President Roosevelt's Lend-Lease program did put in the U.S. in the Allied powers favor.

Answer 2

The bombing of Pearl Harbor was a direct assult against the United States. Several thousand people were killed during the attck, with over one thousand on the U.S.S. Arizona alone. The United States declared war on Japan the next day.

Answer 3

The bombing of Japan in Hawaii made the U.S. mad. The United States stayed completely neutral and out of the war until they were automatically put in the war because of Japan. The U.S. went into the war 2 days after Pearl Harbor and stayed in it, with the allied powers, until Hitler and the axis powers surrendered completely.

Answer 4

The sinking of US ships in the Battle of the Atlantic was one motivation and the urging of Winston Churchill was another motivation. Roosevelt did his level best to get the Americans to understand they really needed to help Europe but he did respect their isolationist views.
