What major decisions set the stage for U.S. entry into the war?

What will be an ideal response?


British and French appeasement of Hitler's aggression seemed only to have emboldened him. Once war broke out, the U.S. tried to support the Allies without joining the war. Although it was intended for defense, the U.S. military buildup at Pearl Harbor was a spur for Japan's preemptive attack. Once the decision to declare war on Japan was made, the decision to declare war on Germany followed readily.
