People in the US viewed Germany, both in WW1 and WW2 as part of Europe's problem. The US wanted no part of Europe's wars. During WW2, when the US had no choice but to enter it, due to the attack at Pearl Harbor, US citizens wanted and demanded war against Japan. Japan ATTACKED the US; NOT Germany. However, FDR (President Franklin D. Roosevelt) had been receiving political pressure from Britain's Primer Minister Winston Churchill since 1939 to ally itself with England and enter the war against Germany. The issue being, Britain needed the help of the US in order to survive! Consequently, FDR bent to the will of Churchill and agreed to saving Europe FIRST. Thus creating a defeat "Germany first" policy. Which angered the people of the United States who wanted very much to avenge the attack at Pearl Harbor.
