The Japanese were invading and destroying China in 1931, years before the Germans invaded Poland in September of 1939 but most Americans don't care too much about Asians fighting Asians. If you ever see the election speeches leading up to the 1940 election, BOTH sides were very strong on "No Foreign Wars". It took for Hitler declaring war on the USA after the bombing of Pearl Harbor to take us past Lend/Lease for Britain.
If Trump was in charge in 1941, Pearl Harbor would have never happened. He would've had the USA joining the Germans long before that since he could see the good in the Nazis. One thing that does get lost in history is that the Germans merely wanted to exclude the Jews the way America treated black people. The death camps didn't exist in Germany, only in the conquered countries well after the war started when the Germans were stuck with millions of Jews and no other country would take them in. You feed your soldiers first, your people second and your prisoners third. The Jews that couldn't help out with the war effort were sent to the death camps so that they would no longer put a strain on their limited resources. Brutal, but the Germans viewed it as a war of survival against the Communists.
Much of the changes for black people in our country only happened after International disputes and trade discussions were marred with "How can you tell us to improve citizens rights when black people in your country have almost none". If we wanted the title of "The World's Police", we'd have to shore up our unbalanced rules and laws before telling other nations how to behave under a democratic system. Only then was Washington open to hearing the grievances of minorities in America. Almost 20 years after WWII, many black people were still not allowed to vote in large portions of the US.
