The isolationists in the US resisted joining WW2 because they didn’t believe in the French or British empires and suspected American involvement would help bolster those enterprises. If you recall from your history books, america had a century of the “good neighbor” policy where it explicitly told empires to fuck off from the western hemisphere. It felt the same about the rest of the world but didn’t have good options. We even got dragged into Vietnam by Charles de Gaulle
Sadly, no one knows these things anymore

So Japan didnt drop a flaming pooh parcel on the doorstep? Or they did but that wasnt the reason they joined?
Or was it that the need to prove ones bigness by dropping the mother of all bombs on what was (arguably) a beaten opponent just to prove superiority? And data...
Data from the twin bombs was invaluable in creating and prolonging the cold war. Physical and measurable evidence of the power of da bomb.
Also. A Flaming pooh parcel was what convinced the yanks into a war they didnt want.
Ha. Pooh parcel.
