∙ 11y agoJapan and Germany were the two great fascist powers in WW II (with Italy coming up third) and both of these countries were at war with Britain (Japan attacked the British colony of Hong Kong). The US had already been through WW I as an ally of Britain, and was very close, culturally and economically, to Britain and to other countries that were allied to Britain, Canada in particular. Even though Germany and Japan were not formally allied, they did see themselves as being at least allies of convenience, since they had common enemies. Therefore it made military sense for the US to go to war with both Imperial Japan and the Third Reich. Aside from that, the US did not really want to see the continent of Europe ruled by a vicious and ruthless Dictatorship, which sooner or later might turn its attention to the US.
