How the US Almost Attacked Japan First
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, which claimed 2,400 American lives, decisively propelled the United States into World War II - but history nearly unfolded differently. In the days leading up to December 7, 1941, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt had already aligned their interests, and the U.S. Secretary of State was preparing a speech urging Congress to shift its position on the war. Had Japan not launched its surprise strike, there's strong evidence suggesting that the United States may have been the first to attack - potentially entering the war on behalf of the United Kingdom rather than in response to direct aggression.
