USA troops were to be sent to the aid of Britain and her allies soon after Japan attacked Pearl Harbour on the morning of December 7, 1941. America officially declared war against Japan after this "dastardly attack" as spoken in a speech by the American President, Franklin Roosevelt. A few days later, Hitler (an ally of Japan) also declared war, this time against America. Both Nazis Germany and Japan didn't realise, that the industrial might and manpower that America could provide was to be released against them, as America came to help Britain and her allies in their desperate struggle to survive the Nazis Germany onslaught in Europe.
