Well, the United States wanted to enter the war, but they couldn't just declare war. so they forced Japan to attack us by cutting off their oil supply. the Japanese military couldn't function in china without oil, so they attacked us.
This was a mistake because it brought the only naval force that posed a threat to Japan at the moment into the war. also since japan was allied to Germany, Germany declared war on the US. Hitler underestimated the US because the united states could produce 10 Shermans for every German Panzer.
but the US Entered the war because Japan attacked us

Why was Hitler's choice to declare war on the US in 1942 a mistake?
While bogged down in Russia, declaring war on the US would soon create a two front war. As history shows, big mistake.
Germany declaring war on the U.S.?
Germany allied with Japan, Japan attacked America Germany had no choice and Hitler was not happy as he wanted to keep America out of the war.
Which of the following do many historians consider to be Hitler's biggest mistake in world war 2?
Declaring war on the USA after Japan declared war on America. Germany declared war on America hoping Japan would declare war on Russia. Since Japan did not declare war on Russia (Russia would later declare war on Japan), Germany did not have to declare on America. If Germany had not declared war on the USA, America would have difficulty in declaring war on Germany (although USA and Germany naval vessels in the North Atlantic were shooting at one another in 1941). If Germany had not declared war on the USA, then Hitler would not have had to face the military men and equipment of America. Although Russia fought the majority of land battles against Germany, it was American men and equipment that helped Russia and Britain and other Allied nations to defeat Germany.

What did countries did US go against?
The Axis was composed of Germany, Italy, and Japan. FDR could not legally enter the war until the enemy country declared war on us. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, that was clearly a declaration of war by action, so FDR responded by declaring war on Japan verbally. Hitler then made the mistake of declaring war on the US verbally, so FDR responded by declaring war on Germany verbally. Mussolini also made the same mistake as Hitler, with the same result on Italy. Had Hitler and/or Mussolini not declared war on the US first, FDR could not have declared war on them and we could not have fought them.
