The United States took a definitive stance in World War II by declaring war on Japan. Previously, the United States had been neutral with Allied proclivities, but now it was a new Allied Power. Within the following days, the Nazi Germans and the Italians declared war on the United States to reciprocate the US declaration of war on Japan. However, since the United States' strongest ally was the United Kingdom, both FDR and Churchill found it more prudent to put the strongest effort in winning the war in Europe before turning their effort more strongly to the Pacific.
Naturally, because of the declaration of war, the United States ceased trade with the Axis powers and all Axis-Occupied Countries or Partners.
It expanded the Second World War into Asia & the Pacific Ocean. It also added the United States into the war in both Europe & Asia/Pacific on the side of the 'Allies'. It was one of the tipping points that helped to defeat Nazi Germany, Mussolini's Italy, & Imperial Japan. These three enemy nations had become aligned as the "Axis Powers" in September 1940. Japan's defeat ended the Japanese invasion of China, however that war in China was soon replaced by the Civil War in China.
