The United States Enters the War
The United States did not enter the war until Japan bombed Pearl Harbor Hawaii on December 7th 1941. Japan bombed the U.S because of an Embargo that prevented Japan from receiving the supplies they normal got from America and needed to support their growing economy, this left Japan wounded and in a panic for resources. President Roosevelt appealed to congress asking them to lift the Neutrality Embargo, this would allow America to trade and supply Great Britain and the Soviet Union with weapons and other supplies. After France fell in 1940 Roosevelt began a major military build up, preparing for war.
