us enters ww2 in 1939

all here hows it pans out
us enters ww2 in sept1 1939
we fight the nazis italians & thier allies in all major campaigns

stalin fights japanese & wipes them out

hitler dies when audie murphey kills him

USA entering at that stage and Germany can forget about ...well pretty much everything.

The US fleet would have arrived by the start of 1940, the Kriegsmarine gets whiped off the map, all U-boats are lost with all hands.
when Japan gets annihilated by the Russians even more US ships would arrive.
No invasion of Norway but Norway does join the allies.
If they are smart they won't attack Denmark either, maybe set their sights on Yugoslavia.
From Norway and France the USA unleashes it airforce onto Germany.
Italy stays neutral, same for Bulgaria and Romania.
Japan becomes a Russian puppet.
By 1942, if Germany hasn't accepted the allies ultimatum of leaving Poland and Czechoslovakia and disarmament they will invade from the maginot line.
The USSR would probably attack by that time as well.

Bye bye Nazis

let say fdr hears how jews are being mistreated in germany
In 1935 Germany instituted the Nuremburg Laws excluding Jews from the Civil Service, Army, Universities, forbidding Aryan-Jewish mixed marriages, sex between Aryans and Jews, Jews from employing Germans as domestic staff. Signs went up in public parks stating, ‘No Dogs or Jews’. The American response was to attend the Olympics in Berlin the following year and began restricting Jewish immigration from Germany.

just tell me what you think
The site is divided up into various sections. There is the section for the possible scenario: post-1990, and then there is the section for the flat out unlikely or impossible: Alien Space Bats.

You proposals are not bad; they are just being posted in the wrong area.
 
Here is a POD. In Nov 1939 FDR sends Secretary of State Hull on an announced visit to London. On the way a German sub misidentifies it as British and sinks it. Since this visit was announced in advance the US sees it as an assassination of its diplomatic personal by Germany. War then results.
 
How about this: the US imposes an escalating series of sanctions on Japan after the invasion of China. By fall 1939, this leads to a decision to go to war with the US. Pearl Harbor, the Phillipines and other US bases are bombed on December 11, 1939. Hitler supports his ally and declares war on December 15. After the fall of France, Roosevelt convinces the leaders of the French to stay in the war. U S troops land in Algeria the day after election day 1940. t The last of the Afrika Corps surrenders in March 1941. The invasion of Sicily in May 1941 leads to the overthrow of Mussolini and Italy joining the allies. t The German invasion of Northern Italy slows the allied advance. The invasion of Normandy in April of 1942 leads to an advance into Germany and VE day on March 8,1943. The atomic bombs dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki leads to the surrender of Japan on September 15, 1943.

Thing is Pearl Harbor was a desperation ploy that had about a 12 month window, Japan cannot launch a raid on Pearl Harbor in 1939, did not have enough carriers or the motivation in the Vinson Acts
 
I am thinking that the public mood in 1944 is like it was OTL in 1946. So Dewey is elected president. I don't know who his Democratic opponent would be. Dewey like OTL Truman leads the US into a position of leadership in the cold war. He issues the Dewey Doctrine and signs the NATO Treaty. In his second term he commits US forces to fight in the Korean War.
