Do you think the USA?

would have got involved in world war 2 had it not been for the attack on pearl harbour ?

Who's to say what we would have done or not have done. I believe we would have anyway, it just would have been more difficult to sell it to the American People. As you know there was a lot of resistance.

the attack on pearl harbour was a clear signal for them to join the war, and i am sure they would have found another excuse to do so.


stephen duru
No I do not think so.

no i think america would have stayed out of it if it wasn't for pearl harbour i do think that someone should have a word with us movie producers the way they go you would think america were the only country fighting and that they won it all on there own funny how they joined in the year before it finished they seem to miss this point in the films that the uk had done all the hard work first

I'm not sure, I think the US would have armed itself and the cold war would have been between USA and Nazi Germany.

No, UK and German war had been going on for five years 1939 to 1944, when Pearl Harbour attacked in the December. USA must have been pretty sure of the out come to join in for a year, before claiming to have "won" WWII. I think they saw they would need us as Allies in the Asian War such as Korea etc.

yes


JeffE
They were very reluctant. The british government asked for their help on a number of occasions, but without any joy.
British requests had little to do with them joining the war. It was mainly down to pearl harbor.


Franky
They probably would not have got involved in in ww2 until the
the later stages as ww1 .But did help Great-Britain in many other ways .

The USA turned up late to two world wars, They are trying to be early for the third!

Probably not. For all their good points they still act as though the rest of the world only exists for their benefit.


Violent and bored
Nope!

We would have been forced into it eventually.


John_Legend
They were already helping Britain with supplys before the attack on Pearl Harbour so I'd think they would have joined it at some point. Pearl Harbour just forced there hand a bit sooner.


scafool
they only got in at the end because they were afraid Russia would win and get all the good stuff first. War is not just about right and wrong but about looting also.

I think the Battle of Brittain had a lot to do with it.

Germany rolled through the rest of Europe mostly unchallenged. So everyone (especially the US) thought we would crumble and just give in. So the US chose not to get involed inorder to stop getting their hands blooded and being involved with "lossers".

Instead we were the first to fully resist the Nazi's full onslaught, this changed a lot of minds in the us. They then started to think that they... sorry..... we could win WW2.

Pearl Harbour was just the last straw.

US got in WWII in 1941, read a history book. Also we took on Asia with minimal help because europe was too busy getting pounded....


pommerenstraat
I agree with most poeple. Pearl Harbour made the US get faster into the conflict

Not if Joe Kennedy had anything to do with it.
By the by, Pearl Harbour was December 7th 1941 not 1944.
The U.S did not declare war on Germany! Germany declared war on them.
