I'm pretty sure we knew Hitler was a genocidal maniac due to a Jewish refugee crisis and the Rape of Nanking. I'll grant you that Hitler gave us a "hope for the best, fear for the worst" scenario in that going through with the Holocaust directly impedes with his war effort, but not with the Japanese. Tons of journalists and Western Ambassadors witnessed and recorded that, trying to get the Chinese to safety. Nanking was well documented.
So you believe the United States got involved in the war because of Hitler's actions against Jews and Japanese war crimes in China? Like I said, such naivete.

Roosevelt wanted to blockade Japan after Nanking but the British and other European powers refused because they were afraid it lead to war. Lolz
The Europeans have been pretty fricking useless since WWI.

I'm saying we knew they were evil. I don't think many people in the US thought that the Germans were evil during WWI, and Woodrow Wilson made that clear in his speech on getting Congress to vote for a declaration of war. It just really helps the war effort when your enemy is indisputably evil.
They sure as shite showed the soldiers in the Pacific what the Japanese did in the Rape of Nanking, and the NYT was there to report on it. It was a very widely reported massacre. I'm sure that footage made sure that no American wanted to be captured alive by them and would fight to the death with the Japanese.
