What If......

Alright well here is a What if senerio. What if Japan had not attacked Pearl Harbor? What do you think about that. What do you think the US may have done in WW2 or how long it would have taken the US to enter the war?

That is a very interesting though, Adler. The US was very isolationist at the time. I would assume that there would be some other event that would have eventually triggered the US entry into the war. I could only speculate on what that would be, but I am thinking it would likely have been something in the Pacific as the Japanese were quickly working their way across the Pacific. It would have only been a matter of time before we bumped heads.

I think Roosevelt was just looking for the right excuse to come to Britain's aid anyway, it was just a matter of convincing congress and the American public at large. Like you said evan, the US was very isolationist up until then. Pearl Harbor provided that "excuse" in spades!

Perhaps Hitler would have eventually declared war on the US anyway, due to the unofficial aid America was giving Britain and the USSR in supplies and, to a point, convoy escorts.
Likely, again like you say, the US would undoubtedly have locked horns with Japan anyway, probably in the Philippines or Marshall Islands area.
