So the question is what would have happened if Germany and Italy had not declared war on the US. Would we have concentrated only on Japan and simply continued lend/lease?

Thanks again, Homer.... I was quite busy at work last week... but, I spent several hours this weekend catching up...

I found it interesting, that suggestions about Roosevelt “knowing the attack was coming” were hitting the front page of the NYT even in the very first days. At least, there were reports from several people that the government had been warned that Hawaii was a target.

Simply amazing the sheer volume of important news that came out in this past week. I bet my father and grandfather were very interested in reading it all... My Dad was 8 years old at that time.
