One thing that fascinates me, although sources are hard to find as it was only a 4 day period in history, was the time between the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour on 7 December 1941, and Hitler and Mussolini's declaration of war on the US on 11 December 1941.

Roosevelt and Churchill must have felt very awkward - they wanted the US to go to war against Germany, but public outrage demanded Japan be punished.

As we know, Hitler solved this problem by declaring war on the US.

What would've happened if Hitler (and Musso) were a little smarter than OTL and didn't declare war on the US?
