What prompted the US to enter the war in 1941?

Answer 1

The attack on Pearl Harbor. Pearl Harbor was attacked at 7:55 a.m. on a Sunday morning. Our troops were mostly sleeping or on leave. By the time the attack was over at 9:40 we had 2403 sailors or civilians dead or trapped soon to be lost. Japan we felt was negotiating with us in an effort to prevent a war prior to that point. Our country could not sit by and allow another to attack us, kill our brothers, neighbors, friends, without stepping into the war. We had already been providing funds, and weapons, as well as a few of our pilots willing to fight to our European allies.

The straw that broke the camel's back was the fact that the US was drawn into the European part of WW 2 because Hitler declared war on the US shortly after Pearl Harbor.

This put the US in a tougher position if it only had one theater of war.

Answer 2

The attack on Pearl Harbour by the Japenese prompted the United States to declare war on Japan. After that, other Axis Powers declared war on the United States as well. Our main goal at the start of the war was to defeat Hitler to preserve democracy, even though it was Japan who originally attacked us.

Most of the time they will come with some sort of weapon or gun. It is very difficult to find a military toy that doesn't come with something like this.
