Leading up to the war Hitlers expansion in Europe and Japans expansion in the far east were concerns for the United States. The actual reason we declared war on Japan and a few days later Germany was Japans attack on Pearl Harbor Hawaii on December 7, 1941. The attack killed over two thousand US Military personnel and civilians.
