The correct answer is B. the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The US didn't want to participate in the war even though there was heavy lobbying for it to join. When Japan attacked, they made a deal with the Allies that if they helped free Europe, the allies would help them defeat Japan. What ensured was D-Day and Normandy, followed by Russian Berlin sacking, and eventually when Europe warfare ended, everyone attacked Japan but the US decided to nuke them.

Answer:

B) The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor

Explanation:

While the German invasion of Poland is considered the start of World War II in Europe, the United States kept its neutrality for the next two years (even through the German air attack on Britain) until the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The sinking of the passenger ship Lusitania was one of a number of issues that led to American involvement in World War I.
