That comment of mine was made in response to HL's comment here:

But I thought that the American people were still hostile towards war with Nazi Germany? Or did Pearl Harbor make them willing to support war against Nazi Germany as well as Japan even if Hitler would have, purely hypothetically, completely denounced the Pearl Harbor attacks?

Interesting. It seems foolish for the Japanese to spark a new war with the US when they're already fighting the Soviets, but if they think that the Soviets will capitulate soon in any case, well, ... It does seem like a mistake for Hitler to declare war on the US after Pearl Harbor, no?

What else can Japan do to provoke the US into fighting it in the Pacific? As for Europe, there wasn't any way at all that Nazi submarines could eventually bring the US into the war?

So, no eventual US entry into World War II?

HL, what do you think would have happened without Pearl Harbor?
