Question

In a short paragraph, explain whether you think the United States would have entered the war if Japan had not attacked Pearl Harbor and why.

Answer 1

Sample Answer 1:

I believe the United States would have entered the war even without the attack on Pearl Harbor. The United States desperately needed to help fight the Axis powers and felt an obligation to its allies. So although the United States might not have entered the war as early as it did as a result of the Pearl Harbor attack, I think it would have at some point even without that event.

Sample Answer 2:

I do not believe the United States would have entered the war if the attack on Pearl Harbor had not occurred. There was a strong belief by many Americans that neutrality was the best policy, and they would not have given their support for the war if not for the attack.

Answer 2

Early in the morning of Sunday 7 December 1941, hundreds of Japanese aircraft launched a surprise assault on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor, killing more than 2,400 Americans. Jonny Wilkes talks to Professor Robert Cribb about whether the United States would still have entered World War II without, as their president put it, a “date which will live in infamy”
