Economic events? This is the economics section. Humm. We sure tried to control Japan with economic sanctions (to get them to leave China alone) - and this directly resulted in them attacking at Pearl Harbor.
It was the attack on Pearl Harbour. Churchhill had been speaking with FDR for a long time about joining the Alliance. With Germany at Englands door step it wouldn't have been long before they would have been at ours. FDR new this but he need the right momment for Americans to support it. He used Pearl Harbour as the catalyst.
