It is well-known that we were engaged in an undeclared naval war with Germany from the summer of 1940 to December, 1941. That was because FDR had allied us with the British and after the Lend-lease Act was supplying the British and the Russians war materials. Hitler was stupid enough to declare war on us. If he had not, the Pacific War would have been our main emphasis.
