ww2 fact. The yanks really arent our friends..they considered bombing us out of the suez canal and Churchill had a mare trying to get them to join in. If it wasnt for the japs forcing there hand we'd be germanic (again).
Not strictly true. The president at the time (can't remember who) Roosevelt I think wanted to join in, but public opinion was against it. Being a foreign war hundreds of miles away. Japan was of a group that included Italy and Germany, when the japs bombed pearl harbour it was the push needed to swing American public opinion.
