Answer:
The correct answer is <u>B</u>: Congress declared war on Japan.
Explanation:
In 1941, Japan occupied Indochina and acquired valuable sources of material goods and materials. Their next plan was to attack East India, because of its oil sources. The US responded to this by an oil embargo that particularly hit the Japanese Navy. The Japanese government decided to occupy East India, although it brought them an armed conflict with Britain and the US.
As a further warning, the US government had moved most of its Pacific fleet from San Diego to Pearl Harbor. That was a great opportunity for Japan to gain dominance in the Pacific and conquer the rest of Asia.
On December 7, 1942, the US base (Pearl Harbor) was attacked by Japanese aircraft which damaged a large number of ships and aircraft. This attack, carried out without a formal war declaration, caused great anger among the American public and the Congress decided the USA should be involved in world events and declared war on Japan.
"huge growth in defense spending" and "bailing out savings and loan companies" were responsible for a dramatic growth in government debt. The war spending had to do mostly with the Cold War.
The first World War ended with the Treaty of Versailles, which ruined all of what Germany had gained from the war. Included was that Germany couldn't have an army of any great size nor power, large portions of the territory gained was taken, it forced Germany to pay for the damages which were caused, and to admit that the war itself was Germany's fault. Each part of this Treaty angered Germany. So when the Nazi's became popular, it appeared that the Nazi's (who were fascist) might be able to abrogate the treaty and Germany to what they thought was its rightful place as a major power, the Germans supported them.
