Wilson promised we'd stay out of WWI. While Pearl Harbor was the official beginning of hostilities that involved the US, FDR had been supplying the Allies through lend-lease, so the US was hardly neutral.
There's debate on whether FDR knew about Pearl, but there's no debate about whether or not he wanted to be in the war, and which side he wanted to be on. Remember, there was quite a bit of debate about whether to support the Germans or the English. Joseph Kennedy and Charles Lindbergh both supported the Germans until hostilities actually began.
The US had also been engaged in low level naval warfare against the Germans in the north Atlantic, as the Germans had been sinking any ships attempting to dock in Britain. Civilian ships were being used to transport war supplies.
I'm not saying the US was wrong, but FDR definitely engaged in activities designed to provoke a military attack from both Germany and Japan.
Agree FDR’s actions were provocative (e.g., Lend Lease, shipping supplies) but what were FDR’s motives for wanting to go to war?
