The day after the attack, December 7th, 1941, President Roosevelt went before the US Congress and asked for a formal declaration of War with Japan. However he never asked for war with Italy or Germany before the Congress. Instead, three days after December 7th, Italy and Germany declared war on the United States having signed the Tripartite Pact in September 1940 with Japan, which officially founded the Axis powers. Though FDR wanted the US in the war, isolationist US populace wanted no part of the war in Europe. Even with the sinking of civilian shipping, the general public remained unmoved to war with Germany.
What if the Axis Pact was signed only by Italy and Germany thus allowing the US to remain out of the War in Europe operating only as a material supplier to its allies? What would be the result if the US focused all its main efforts on Japan? How would fascism and communism fare under these conditions? Would there still be a Cold War?
