Starting in October or Setember 1941 US warships were guarding the convoys to England halfway....we actually had a US Destroyer Sunk in this period. So hostilities had allready begun between Germany and US before Pearl Harbor.

A clear violation of the Neutrality Act, which is US law.

Hitler declared war on the US hoping that Japan would declare war on Russia in return, but the Nips were smarter than that.

Day Of Deceit: The Truth About FDR and Pearl Harbor. It's well researched and makes it as clear as it can be made that FDR knew well in advance of the pending attack.

John Toland who wrote many books on WW2 felt that FDR knew about the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor before the attack. But from what I gather FDR really didn't know. The Jap cable were there to be decoded, but like all things bureaucratic hadn't been deciphered yet.
FDR and Churchill chose to make Germanys defeat the primary objective simply because Germany had so much more industrial capacity. Japan literally had NO CHANCH in WW2. Both Germany and Japan combined could not out produce the US in military Goods.

America would have roled up Japan in two years or less, without doubt. If FDR hadn't continually carried acts of war against Germany for for well over a year, I don't think there would have been a war declaration by them after Pearl Harbor. Britain wanted America in the War in order to invade and conquer Germany.
As I've said many times, the start of it all was World War One, and our entry into it for Britain and France; big, costly mistake.
