What wars were started because of revenge?
Even though the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941 caused the US entry into WW2; had a WW2 not been going on, the US and Japan would have definitely been at war with each other. And US revenge would have been the number 1 reason. President FDR had alot of difficulty with the US public when he announced that Europe had to be saved first, the "Germany first policy." Germany did NOT attack the US, Japan did! And the people of the United States wanted their blood! The only reason President Franklin Delano Roosevelt went for the "Save Europe First" strategy was because of Winston Churchill's constant lobbying efforts with FDR from 1939 up through the Pearl Harbor attack in 1941.

When and why did the US get into World War 2?
The reason the United States entered the Second World War was because of a suprise attack on their naval base at Pearl Harbor in Oahu. At 7:55 A.M. on December 7,1941, the Empire of Japan commited a suprise attack upon the United States naval fleet that was anchored in the harbor. The day after the attack the 32nd president of the United States, Franklin Delano Roosevelt, declared war on the Empire of Japan because of their sudden attack that was performed without warning the day before. The reason for the Unites states to enter word war two is because the japaness bombed us in pearl harbor on December 7 1941 and the attack on the philipne islands near china.
Reason for the selection of routes used by Japan to attack Pearl Harbor?
The Japanese selected the route they used for their attack fleet to approach Pearl Harbor because they wanted to avoid heavily traveled sea lanes. This would prevent their fleet from being spotted and warnings sent to the American fleet in Pearl Harbor. For this reason the Japanese fleet sailed east across the north Pacific, then turned south and approached Hawaii from directly north.
