The United States joined World War II primarily due to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. This surprise military strike against the U.S. naval base in Hawaii resulted in significant loss of life and damage to the Pacific Fleet, prompting President Franklin D. Roosevelt to ask Congress for a declaration of war against Japan the following day. Subsequently, Germany and Italy declared war on the U.S., solidifying America's entry into the conflict on multiple fronts.
