Question

why did USA join world war 2

Answer 1

Hey,

The US got involved in WWII because the Imperial Empire of Japan attacked and bombed the US naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Japan attacked to US because the US had stopped shipments of crude and refined oil and other supplies to Japan. Japan is a country of few natural resources, so they attacked China to gain more independence from imports, and to “Unite the 8 (yes, 8) Corners of the world under 1 roof”. The Japanese saw themselves a superior to the other East Asian nations, and when the other nations didn’t want to join their coalition, and Japanese decided to use force. And they needed natural resources.
