Expansion increased the power of military leaders who supported totalitarianism.
The US became part of WWII after its military base Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japanese forces. The reason why the Japanese bombed the US was because the US stopped distributing oil to Japan. The Japanese figured that the US would appease them if they bombed Pearl Harbor, but they were wrong. Japan ended up being bombed by an atomic bomb in Hiroshima, Japan and Nagasaki, Japan. These atomic bombings led to Japans surrender to the US.
Leading up to the war Hitlers expansion in Europe and Japans expansion in the far east were concerns for the United States. The actual reason we declared war on Japan and a few days later Germany was Japans attack on Pearl Harbor Hawaii on December 7, 1941. The attack killed over two thousand US military personnel and civilians.
The Allies (USA, Canada, Britain, Soviet Union etc.) agreed to pool their resources and fight the Axis powers as a joint operation. Because of the greater industrial output of the USA and the increased manpower, the Allies were able to make inroads towards defeating the enemy which hadn't been possible before.

Japan's strategy for attacking Pearl Harbor was to deliver a surprise military strike aimed at crippling the U.S. Pacific Fleet, thereby preventing American interference in Japan's expansion plans in the Asia-Pacific region. The attack, carried out on December 7, 1941, involved a well-coordinated aerial assault using six aircraft carriers that launched over 350 planes. The goal was to destroy key battleships and aircraft on the ground, ensuring Japan's dominance in the Pacific in the short term. The Japanese aimed for a decisive blow that would demoralize the U.S. and buy time for further territorial conquests.
it changed the world by changing the rules, like rules of engagement and changing the lives of japans people for the rest of their lives.
