The Japanese attacked us at Pearl Harbor, and right after that Germany and the other Euro-Axis powers declared war on us.

One could make the argument that we should have focused more on Japan than we did, but war with Germany was a real threat, as their ships were terrorizing our East Coast.

Im sorry, but you really did not need to make a thread about this. ANY remotely educated person should have learned this in early grade school.

Try again with a more meaningful question.

They were attacked by the Japanese and Hitler declared war on them because he's retarded.

With regards to Japan: well they attacked the US.

With regards to getting involved in the European theater: to prevent the Russians taking entire Europe.

Because those pansies across the pond needed to be bailed out again by ol Uncle Sam. Ol Winston was taking a beating by the Krauts again. So we decided to let Tojo attack our pineapple fields on purpose to gain sympy from the American citizens.

>With regards to getting involved in the European theater: to prevent the Russians taking entire Europe.

Except the USA sent an unbelievable amount of fuel, tanks, trucks, planes, and everything else to the soviet union? The USSR would have buckled and collapsed without American lend lease.

This shit again

>500,000 vehicles sent
>13,000 airplanes sent
>B-but the commies could have done it without america!

>>2695887
they would have done it, just a LOT slower and suffering way more casualties

germany had absolutely no chance after the battle of moscow, and and that point lend-lease was negligible

>>2695900
The battle of Moscow was the USSR's battle of the bulge. They threw all of their far east divisions at the Wehrmacht. (which they could free up because America was busy cucking japan).

Without lend lease keeping the soviet war machine alive, those divisions would grind to a halt and the Nazis could have definitely counterattacked.

>>2695924

They did counterattack. You also forget the Soviets didn't put everything they got from the west straight into the fight. They were stockpiling for the war's end to ensure material strength. Just because the shipments were made officially, doesn't mean it all trickled down to the front line.

Eurasia/Europe united under any ideology at odds with the US represents an existential threat to the US and their way of life.

Mason Hirohito attacked Mason FDR's outpost in the Pacific after much provocation.

> b-but what bout lend lease

OP was asking motives. Lend lease tells you nothing about US motives to enter the European theater. Or do you want to imply that the US motive was to actually strengthen the Sowjet Union?

>>2695924
>which they could free up because America was busy cucking japan
Which they could do because the Japanese had their shit slapped so hard at Khalkhin Gol two years earlier that their entire strategic outlook changed because they were terrified of the Russians.

This guy has done his homework.

Lol, right?

They were tired of the British Empire and were in no hurry to see it Replaced by a German one. By intervening in Europe they took two birds out with one stone by preventing the unification of Europe and simultaneously toppling the British Empire's domination of world trade and its oceans.
