Detailed explanation-1: -On December 7, 1941, following the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, the United States declared war on Japan. Three days later, after Germany and Italy declared war on it, the United States became fully engaged in the Second World War.
Detailed explanation-2: -But the neutral USA entered World War II only 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.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, ended the debate over American intervention in both the Pacific and European theaters of World War II. The day after the attack, Congress declared war on Imperial Japan with only a single dissenting vote.
Detailed explanation-4: -After the surprise attack by Japan, the American mindset changed completely. Fear swept across the country, but even more so there was a sense of patriotism that incited a desire to fight Japan. Though likely afraid of another sneak attack from the Pacific, Americans soon saw an outright war with Japan as inevitable.
