1)Germans sinking US merchant ships taking supplies to England
2)Japan's unreasonable demands on the United States (re- instating oil sales and dropping support of the Philipeenes and China)
3)German submarines beginning to shoot at US war ships
4)England and France are typically our allies so we were going to enter the war eventually anyway
5)Pearl Harbor was obviously why we entered the war. Anytime we are attacked we are going to go to war; howeve,r realize that we declared war on Japan and three days later Germany declared war on us so we were not looking for a fight by any means.

Who-ho-ho ... I agree with with
5 Reasons Why We Enter Iraq or Libya, however, I'm not aware of Germany attacking any U.S. merchant ships prior to the entry of the U.S. into war. In fact, there are ample examples of flagrant violations of U.S. neutrality by the Roosevelt regime, any one of which would have excused an Axis attack on the U.S.
While the U.S. was "neutral" -
- Germans who escaped Canadian POW camps to the U.S. were repatriated to Canada instead of re-interred in the U.S. as the laws of war would demand.
- U.S. Navy ships regularly radioed the coordinates and movement of Kriegsmarine ships and German merchantmen to the Royal Navy in violation of neutrality.
- OSS operatives were active in Serbia training partisans fighting the Italian Army in violation of neturality.
- The U.S. Navy, on several separate occasions, blockaded German merchantmen in Mexican ports until the Royal Navy could arrive.
WWII was a struggle between nationalism and internationalism, however, the world capitalist classes intervened and defeated both sides. Even Hitler agreed!
Hitler wrote:As a member of the privileged class, Roosevelt experienced the World War in a position under Wilson's shadow as an Assistant Secretary. As a result he only knew of the agreeable consequences of war in which some survived and others perished. During this same time I lived very differently. I was not one of those who made decisions or profits, but one who carried-out orders. I returned from the war just as poor as when I entered in 1914. I, thus, shared my fate with millions of others while Mr. Roosevelt shared his fate with the upper one-percent. After the war, while Mr. Roosevelt tested his skills in stock market speculation to enrich himself, I lay in a hospital with many others. Financially secure and enjoying the patronage of his class, Mr. Roosevelt then chose a career in politics. I struggled as an unknown man.
Two different paths in life: Roosevelt, the candidate of the capitalist party and those who serve it. Me, the leader of a national movement I created myself.
