Question:
Would the US had stayed out of WW2 if Pearl Harbour hadn't been attacked?
?
2020-11-25 07:30:59 UTC
If I understand my history lessons in School correctly, there were a strong opinion in the US to stay out of WW2 in Europe and Asia. Not that the US was especially friendly with Japan or Nazi Germany, but because ;'...let them deal with their own problems over there, and leave us out of it!'. Is this historically incorrect? ...and Churchill desperately tried to lobby the US to get involved, so was he secretly 'pleased' when Pearl Harbour was attacked, since that suddenly involved the US by default?

In essence, yes you are right. The Democrats held all 3 branches of Government both the House, Senate and Presidency). However the strict facts are Japan declared war on the USA on the same day as Pearl Harbour was attacked, Germany and Italy declared war on the US in support of their ally Japan 4 days after Pearl Harbour.



Roosevelt was sympathetic to the UK (and France) but could not  commit the US forces to open support. In part he had to deal with an isolationist congress and population at large. There were also active elements of the population supporting Hitler. Until Germany declared war on the US (post Pearl Harbour) FDR did a lot to work around the limitations forced on him through the isolationist pressures in congress. US forces started to escort convoys to the end of US territorial waters,military supplies were made available through 'lend / lease'.



Military supplies were sold to the Allied forces (essentially the UK and many |European nations and then to their rump governments in exile. this included sales to Far Eastern colonies of European powers such the the Dutch East Indies.



Despite FDR denouncing Germany and Japan going back to the mid to late 30's (1937on). FDR, like Churchill in the UK recognised the rising threat posed by a resurgent Germany. Fortunately  for FDR he didn't face the active opposition claiming he was a war monger as Churchill did in the 1930's from Labour politicians



You could make an argument that the vested interests of many US companies, such as Ford, GM & IBM all had extensive manufacturing operations in Germany and were worried they would lose such operations.





Politicians spoke out on how they wanted to remain neutral from the "European" war, until such time as Japan attacked Pearl Harbour. But don't presume the US was 'entriely' innocent, the US had been gradually imposing increasing sanctions on Japan though 'economic warfare'.

We started a war with Japan much further back than in the 1940s. Japan didn't want to trade with the US and we opened up with defeating the enemy for no other reason. We made up a few to keep face.

Yes. The USA had a neutral policy toward the WWII. The U.S. also didn't care whether the allies or the axis will win the war. The Manhattan Project was in progress and research on nuclear weapons was being made even before the attack on Pearl Harbor. but the U.S. politicians didn't envision using these weapons. Therefore, from what I understand, the U.S. would have continued to stay out of the war. The attack on Pearl Harbor served as an entry point of U.S. into the war and a call to action for use of nuclear weapons.

I think the US would have had to get involved sooner or later.  Germany was bent on taking over the world basically, and at some point it would have met with opposition.

impossible to answer, since we don't know what would have happened next.

they were building that bomb, so maybe? either that or they wanted to sell it to others. What if pearl harbor was an inside job? modern Japanese people brainwashed to believe it was them. After all, all that remains is photographs, written history and word of mouth. All of these can be fabricated.

It would have taken much longer.  Groups such as the America First committee capitalized on a strong public desire to stay out the war, if possible.  The attack on Pearl Harbor caused opposition to war to evaporate, but only with respect to Japan.  Many people continued to believe that we should let England deal with Germany (which was unrealistic).  FDR hesitated to ask for a declaration of war against Germany.  Then, a few days after Pearl Harbor, the foolish Hitler declared war on the United States, thereby solving Roosevelt's problem.  We declared war on Germany immediately thereafter.

They wanted to, and if Japan had not attacked, the axis probably would have time to win the war. before turning on the US. We were very much isolationists.



However through Oil Embargos with Japan and openly supplying the British and Soviets, it was a fore gone conclusion

The USA would have eventually been dragged in, just as in WW1.  And FDR was much more interested in being involved than had been Wilson.  If not unrestrained U-Boats in the Atlantic, then Japanese pressure in the Pacific.
2020-11-25 11:44:28 UTC
Germany declared war on the US. That indicates to me, the Axis would have targeted the US eventually. It was a world war.

Yes, the US would not have officially entered World War II if Japan did not bomb Pearl Harbor, because peace was profitable for them. The US was supplying war materials to Allied countries in 1939 and found it very profitable to engage its Lend-Lease Program and protect their economic gains.

Pearl Harbour was certainly a decider to get involved. Funny though that even today the USA claim to have won the 2nd WW almost single handed. They wee not interested in getting involved as t was not on their shores.

Pearl Harbour did not involve the USA in the war in Europe at all. It was only when Hitler declared war on the USA. Quite possibly the stupidest thing he did historically. 



I do think inevitably the USA would have become embroiled in WW2 in Europe, though. U-boats were hitting US shipping and it was that which brought the US into WW1 after all. 



On Churchill, I can imagine he wasn't pleased as such, but likely sighed in relief when Hitler declared war on the US.

The USA had no wish to get involved in any wars and Roosevelt actually was elected on a promise that America would not be drawn into any wars.  Churchill was desperate for the USA to Join in on the British side and there is even a story the British had a map and documents made up to try and fool the Americans into believing Germany and Japan would be both invading from each side of America once they had conquered their European and Asian neighbors and dividing America between them.

  When Pearl Harbour was bombed by the Japanese apparently Churchill was delighted as he knew America could no longer stay neutral and out of the war.  Germany declared war on the USA 2 days after the Pearl Harbor attack so had always planned to fight America once it had conquered all Europe.

The US had no intention of staying out of the war - FDR was instrumental in starting it. His New Deal programs were failures and he needed to stimulate the economy - war = instant jobs.





He also had Zionist influence in his administration. The Zionists had declared war on Germany in 1933 immediately after Hitler was appointed Chancellor (it was around this time that he was first accused of exterminating Jews - a blatant lie).





During his 3rd term as President, FDR involved himself in foreign affairs that he neither knew nothing about nor understood their significance with the intent to create conflicts.





Throughout his 1940 campaign for a 4th term, he lied to the American people about never involving them in the European conflict while, at the same time, instilling fear with propaganda about how easy it would be for Hitler to attack America (Hitler had no desire to attack America) and thus Americans must be prepared.





This justified him to start armament production which he promptly sold to Britain and other German opposition - essentially involving the United States in the war illegally, against the Neutrality Laws (which he adjusted as needed to stay under the radar).

Still, Congress wouldn't give him the support he needed to go to war in Europe. What you wrote about not getting involved in the war in Europe is correct. But FDR found a way around it.



If he couldn't go to war in Europe, he would bring the war to America. After setting up embargoes around the Pacific to prevent Japan from getting the oil they needed, FDR lured Japan to America with promises of oil.



He then added a condition - they had to purchase a permit before buying the oil and then reneged on selling them. This adequately enraged Japan enough that they launched an attack.



The attack on Pearl Harbor was all FDR needed to get Congressional approval to get involved in the Europen war. Hitler saw what FDR was doing but never declared war on America until AFTER the Pearl Harbor attack - which signaled FDRs involvement of America.



If the Pearl Harbor event never happened, the United States wouldn't have been justified in going after Germany and Hitler never would have gone up against the United States.

There was certainly a strong movement in the US that opposed getting involved in the war in Europe, but we can never know whether it would have prevailed in the end.
2020-11-25 07:53:17 UTC
Yes. They might well have stayed out of the war in Europe if Hitler had not been trounced into declaring war against the USA because of his Axis alliance with the Empire of Japan. The USSR managed only to fight Germany and did not declare war on Japan until after Hiroshima was destroyed. Churchill made no bones about it - but he had already been getting tacit support from FDR, who had been selling the idea of involvement with his Fireside Chats.  With Japan's declaration on the US and the British Empire he knew the course of the war would turn and realistically Japan was never going to win. 



PH was a tactical disaster - given that the most important part of the fleet, the aircraft carriers (Enterprise, Lexington, and Saratoga) was absent and as Dolittle showed, Enterprise put the Japanese Islands within reach of the US with the largely symbolic Tokyo Raid launched in reprisal.

If Pearl Harbor was not attacked Japan would have run out of oil for its navy and other military vehicles that used oil based products for power and would have to do something to get oil. They attacked Pearl Harbor to try to neutralize the US Pacific Fleet so they could take the Dutch West Indies oil fields which they succeeded in doing because the fleet that was left to defend it a combination of American British, Dutch and Australian ships was destroyed in the Battle of The Java Sea but fi we had our Pacific Fleet they could not easily of done this so they had to attack Pearl Harbor or quit their war against China. So it is hard to find an alternative scenario to the attack on Pearl Harbor.

I think the US would eventually have been pulled into World War II, even if Pearl Harbor never happened.



There probably would have been an altercation between an American ship and a German U-boot or a Japanese ship that would have done it.
michinoku2001
2020-11-26 17:15:54 UTC
Solid question, remember that the USGC and USN had already engaged U boats in the Atlantic before Pearl Harbor. Making the "line of control" from Rekijavik east was a very aggressive measure by the USA. Probably the USGC helped birddog the Bismark. Apparently a USGC vessel gave a securite that they saw a very large warship. The RN obviously knew exactly what that large warship would be. The conflict in the Atlantic was probably what led Hitler to declare war on the US just as much as Japan going to war with the USA. 



That being said, I do not think FDR wanted to enter the war with a massive humiliation of the USN. Therefore I do not think Pearl Harbor was some sort of conspiracy to temp Japan. SNAFUs are more common in the real world than grand conspiracies. 



Look at it from Hitler's POV. He expected that neutrality would mean that every ship leaving for the UK from could be be sunk 15 miles from New York or Miami as per his understanding of international law. FDR could not possibly accede to this as if he was the president of Peru or Switzerland. In fact, Miami beachgoers were horrified to find the dead washed up on their beach. Therefore the isolationists were asking for the impossible.

According to history 101, No, Hitler declared war on America the day after Japan's attack on pearl Harbor. Therefor, Roosevelt had no recourse than to declare war on Germany as well as Japan. Before that date, Roosevelt had already seen that America could not keep out of war with Germany and knew that it was a just a matter of time before we had to go to war and Germany just happened to blink first.

Quite likely.  More than that, the U.S.S.R. would have almost surely been defeated by about the end of 1943.  The relative stalemate in N. Africa would resumed.  

There'd have been no meaningful landings on the European continent.  There'd likely not be development of an atomic bomb - by either side.  At some point, even a warmonger like Churchill would've seen the light & agreed to a peace.  With no U.S. involvement in the Pacific, the U.K. would have had to commit far more of its resources there just to prevent further Japanese expansion.  



Right away, "T.D.", the fruitboy troll, has to get his wholly insincere thumb in.  I could have as easily wrote the exact opposite, & he'd have still done the same.

Yes.  America was run by veterans of WW!.  Based on their experience, they wanted nothing to do with anything in Europe and cared even less about what Japan was doing in Asia.  More than 70% of Americans wanted to stay out of any war.  President Roosevelt did not even control the government.  Two senators from two of the smallest states ran the entire federal government because of their seniority and control over every committee.  Senators G.P. Nye of North Dakota  and Burton K. Wheeler of Montana were both  against helping Europe in any way.  Churchill was

more than pleased America declared war.

The answer is YES the real intelligence of those regions (OSS) was to stay out of it and as far as Europe goes they have been under the constant back and forth of religious fervor almost as much as in the Middle East and now can't even protect their own borders and WE can't even protect ours...



invasion, occupation and conversion has been the Communist mantra for 6,000 years and it does not matter which denomination or form it takes and the Russians call it Revolution meaning like a wheel not violent upheaval though the propagandist will try and make it all about  violence because there is always an underlying goal of someone else being served...

It was sending supplies to England through out the war, so the US was involved.  Congress would not allow a declare  of war.  The government was split much like it may be now and the Republican's representing the wealthy didn't want war to disrupt the very shaky economy of the US.
2020-11-25 15:19:18 UTC
The US started preparing to enter WWII in 1938. If you look at American defense spending you'll see nearly all of the increases came BEFORE Pearl Harbor. 



The bigger question was which side to enter it on. There was a strong sentiment to enter it on the side of Hitler.

I don't see any way they could have avoided it, the U.S. Navy was actively engaging U-boats off the Atlantic coast well before Pearl Harbor (and no, the U.S. Coast Guard was not providing fuel to U-boats) and our supplying war materials to the British would have eventually given cause for Hitler to declare war on the U.S.

You also have to remember the Japanese didn't just attack Pearl Harbor, on Dec. 8 the also attacked American bases in the Philippines, even if they had never attacked Pearl I see no reason to assume they would not have still gone after American interests in the Pacific.

The USA preferred to stay out because the Could make More Money selling to all sides Once in the war they extended it by over 2 years Just to make Money from the allies and the Nazis



The USA was only in WW2 to make Money this Proves the USA were only interested in Money and Not Helping anyone



America with the collusion of the vice-chairman of the U.S. War Production Board in partnership with Göring's cousin in Philadelphia when American forces were desperately short of everything and such arrangements were known about in Washington and either sanctioned or deliberately ignored?For the government did sanction dubious transactions—both before and after Pearl Harbor. A presidential edict, issued six days after December 7, 1941, actually set up the legislation whereby licensing arrangements for trading with the enemy could officially be granted.Often during the years after Pearl Harbor the government permitted such trading. For example, ITT was allowed to continue its relations with the Axis and Japan until 1945, even though that conglomerate was regarded as an official instrument of United States Intelligence.No attempt was made to prevent Ford from retaining its interests for the Germans in Occupied France, nor were the Chase Bank or the Morgan Bank expressly forbidden to keep open their branches in Occupied Paris. It is indicated that the Reichsbank and Nazi Ministry of Economics made promises to certain U.S. corporate leaders that their properties would not be injured after the Führer was victorious.Thus, the bosses of the multinationals as we know them today had a six-spot on every side of the dice cube. Whichever side won the war, the powers that really ran nations would not be adversely affected.And it is important to consider the size of American investments in Nazi Germany at the time of Pearl Harbor. These amounted to an estimated total of $475 million. Standard Oil of New Jersey had $120 million invested there; General Motors had $35 million; ITT had $30 million and Ford had $17.5 million. Though it would have been more patriotic to have allowed Nazi Germany to confiscate these companies for the duration—to nationalize them or to absorb them into Hermann Göring's industrial empire—it was clearly more practical to ensure them protection from seizure by allowing them to remain in special holding companies, the money accumulating until war's end. It is interesting that whereas there is no evidence of any serious attempt by Roosevelt to impeach the guilty in the United States,reason FDR was afraid of Upsetting Corporate USA whose Cooperation was desperately needed to win the War in the Pacific





Yes the USA said we dont want to get involved in another European war yet they Funded Hitler 43,000,000 Links prove the USA caused WW2



they stayed out because they could make more Money the USA put Hitler in Power then made the Allies pay for the war





 Churchill went to the USA and asked for the Tools to Finish the Job and FDR poked him in the eye with a Blunt stick here was our True Allie in WW2



3 thumbs down so all 40,000,000 links are a Lie or you just hate the truth



https://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/remembrance/history/historical-sheets/material



It is a Fact that if Standard oil had NOT supplied the Nazis with High Octane fuel WW2 would have ended in 1942 with Germany Running out of Aircraft Fuel



Prescott Bush registered all His oil tankers in Panama and only lost one when the US Coast Guard caught a standard oil tanker Refgueling a U Boat in the Atlantic in august 1943 They Found Germans On the Tanker

Absolutely not.



The US were already attacking the Pacific ocean region, and Japan assaulted each of those locations, aswell as Pearl harbour.



They also launched attacks on US bases "in the philippines", and "Guam", and "Wake Island", aswell as Pearl harbour.



".[14] Japan intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States. Over the course of seven hours there were coordinated Japanese attacks on the U.S.-held Philippines, Guam, and Wake Island and on the British Empire in Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong.[15]".

The US first began waging war in the Pacific region in around 1902, after they received the Philippines from the Spanish as part of the treaty of Paris agreement, however the Philippinos did not believe that the Spanish had any rights giving the Philippines to the USA, and they denied the US access, so the US invaded.



"The Philippine–American War,[11] also referred to as the Filipino–American War, the Philippine War, the Philippine Insurrection or the Tagalog Insurgency[12][13] (Filipino: Digmaang Pilipino–Amerikano; Spanish: Guerra filipino–estadounidense), was an armed conflict between the First Philippine Republic and the United States that lasted from February 4, 1899 to July 2, 1902.[1]".

Official figures state 200,000 Philippinos died in this war, though unofficial figures speculate it was 1 million.



"The war resulted in at least 200,000 Filipino civilian deaths, mostly due to famine and disease.[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] Some estimates for total civilian dead reach up to a million.[27][8]".

There is also not much genetic difference between Japanese citizens and Philippinos, they are both descended from the Jomons.



"By the end of the Incipient Jōmon phase, around 8000 BCE, a semi-sedentary lifestyle apparently led to an increase in population density, so that the subsequent phase, the Initial Jōmon, exhibits some of the highest densities known for foraging populations.[b] Genetic mapping studies by Luigi Luca Cavalli-Sforza have shown a pattern of genetic expansion from the area of the Sea of Japan towards the rest of eastern Asia. This appears as the third principal component of genetic variation in Eurasia (after the "Great expansion" from the African continent, and a second expansion from the area of Northern Siberia), which suggests geographical expansion during the early Jōmon period.[c] These studies also suggest that the Jōmon demographic expansion could possibly have reached America along a path following the Pacific coast.[d]".

The USA had absolutely no right to be invading the Pacific, and they had absolutely no right to tell US citizens in the news that they were the good guys defending the poor philippinos from the Japanese.



The Philippinos are pretty much the same people as the Japanese, and the Japanese were not so much wanting to conquer the Philippines, so much as get the Philippines back, and free of US or Spanish rulership.



So no, Pearl harbour was not the reason they entered WW2.



That was just the best pretext to use, to convince the US public to vote for the US to go and defend US values, thus allow the US to go and attempt to farther their corporate and imperical goals and expansion in the Pacific region.



Photo below with link, of the massacre of Philippinos from day 1 of US 1902 invasion of the Philippines. (this was for no reason whatsoever may i add. And nowhere is it stated even by the US, that prior to this invasion, had the Philippinos done anything untoward to the US, in any shape or form. They had not, The US to this day have no other reason for this massacre, than they simply wanted the land for themselves).

Officially in the US, the americans in Pearly Harbour were victims of a shameful surprise attack by Japan, which brought the US into the war.

But if you look at it from a different perspective, the US fleet was in Hawaii already on its way in preparation for an attack on Japan, or why else would it be there? 

The Japanese knew this, so they made a pre-emptive defensive attack and beat the americans to it. 

The US was on its way to war before the attack. 

I would like to know what they say in Japanese history books.
