America did not start WW2, Germany and Japan get the credit for that. The US did declare war on Japan on 08 December 1941, after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, and 11 December 1941 on Germany, being allied with Japan.

WWII started -for the US- with the bombing of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii by the Japanese Imperial fleet, led by Imperial Commander Isoroku Yamamoto. This led to our declaring war on Japan, and launched us into the Pacific theatre of the war. Our declaration of war with Japan spurned Germany to declare war with us, pulling the US into the European theatre of the war.
