    -The United States were determinedly resolved to staying in separation and remaining unprejudiced in world issues despite the way that they helped Britain financially. The United States entered World War 2 when the Japanese snared Pearl Harbor on December 5, 1941.
    7. Why was declaring war on the United States Hitler’s biggest mistake?
    - Declaring war on the United States was Hitler’s biggest mistake because the Germans had already promised Japan that they would come to help if they were ever at war with the USA. Therefore, Hitler thought President Roosevelt would declare war on Germany, so Hitler of course, wanting to have power wanted to get Germany’s declaration of war first. Yet, Hitler’s actions saved him but they still had to face immense potential of the United States.
