The US became part of WWII after
its military base Pearl Harbor
was bombed by Japanese forces.
The reason why the Japanese bombed the US was
because the US stopped distributing
oil to Japan.
The Japanese figured that the US would appease them
if they bombed Pearl Harbor,
but they were wrong.
Japan ended up being bombed
by an atomic bomb in
Hiroshima, Japan and Nagasaki, Japan.
These atomic bombings led to Japans surrender to the US.
