Answer:
Japan knew the United States was economically and military powerful, but it was not afraid of any American attack on its islands. Japan did worry however, that the Americans might help the Chinese resist the Japanese invasion of their country. When President Roosevelt stopped U.S. shipments of steel and oil the Japan, he was doing exactly this: the Japanese are dependent on other countries for raw materials, for they have almost none on their own islands. Without imports of steel and oil, the Japanese military could not fight for long. Without oil, the navy would not be able to move after it had exhausted its six-month reserve. Roosevelt hoped that this economic pressure would force Japan to end its military expansion in East Asia.
Answer:
This a very interesting and general question.
Explanation:
The US officially entered World War 2 on December 11, 1941. Mobilization began when the United States declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941, one day after the attacks on Pearl Harbor.
This move caused Germany, an ally of Japan at the time, to declare war on the United States on December 11th, sucking the US into the European Theater of this global conflict, and taking the US, in just four short days, from a peacetime nation to one that was preparing for all-out war with two enemies on opposite sides of the globe.
Although formal declarations of war did not come until 1941, one could argue that the US had been involved in WWII for some time already, since 1939, despite the country’s self-proclaimed neutrality. It had played a role by supplying Germany’s opponents — which, by 1940, after the Fall of France to Hitler and Nazi Germany, included pretty much only Great Britain — with supplies for the war effort.
