Best Answer

One day after the December 7th, 1941 bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, the U.S. Congress voted to declare war on Japan. Two days afterwards war was declared on the U.S. by the Germans who were allies with Japan. So the U.S. involuntarily joined the European Allies because war was declared upon them.
