An incident would not have been needed-Pearl Harbour still would have happened, just without Hitler declaring war on the US. The Battle Of The Atlantic would still have been won by the Allies, it just would have taken longer without the US fully committing to it. US participation would still have increased though, and if Germany did not declare war (which they should not, to make this scenario more likely), the US would have declared war on Germany in 1943. It might have been a different situation with a truce though.
The Japanese British/ Dutch War of 1941

This question has been in my thoughts for a few days. What’s your thoughts on this subject?
-
Not declare war on Germany and Italy, otherwise not sure really. I think they would have wanted to stay out. Thy couldn’t have stayed out if the Philippines had been attacked, but I think they would have stayed out for some time if it was over the Dutch possessions.
I am sure they would never have been so unprepared in the Pacific, at Pearl especially, if it had worked out this way. -
( I know this is old, don´t blame me for that)
I think they cut off al ties with japan, but they´re not going to war unless the phillipines were attacked.
They were very isolationist, and I don´t think congress sees an japanese attack on SE asia (without american colonies) as a reason good enough to vote for a DOW.

No apologies, some topic need resurrected.

America would have got the scissors out!

We would have cut off all ties with them. The next one would have been a declaration of war.
