Answer: Hope this helped!

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The US entered after many months of argument in Congress and among the general public, and only when a Japanese fleet launched a big surprise air raid against its Pacific naval base at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on 7 December 1941.

2. Larger historical forces eventually brought the United States to the brink of World War II, but the direct and immediate cause that led it to officially entering the war was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

3. -Americans were seriously divided over what the role of the United States in the war should be, or if it should even have a role at all.

- Isolationist organizations like the America First Committee sought to influence public opinion through print, radio, and mass rallies.

-Interventionists believed the United States did have good reasons to get involved in World War II, particularly in Europe. The democracies of Western Europe, they argued, were a critical line of defense against Hitler’s fast-growing strength.

bonjour,

1. The Japanese attack on the US naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, led President Franklin Roosevelt to declare war on Japan. A few days later, Nazi Germany declared war on the United States, and America entered World War II against the Axis powers.
