Yes but the cause was not American. And USA was pretty reluctant to be dragged in (not Roosevelt but the voters).

I am just pointing out that you can make up any list in hindsight and make it look like Nostradamus prophecies.

Where is french revolution or the great war in that list?

> Yes but the cause was not American.

Yes, it was. America was setting up the scene for the pacific war by raising customs and tariffs on Japanese imports with the Smoot-Hawley Tariff Act (1930). The Japanese were just democratizing when the US decided to kill their economy. Thus, the Japanese had one of two choices - take needed resources they purchased before by force, or accept a massive decline in standard of living. They decided to take the first route. Attacked the Chinese, and when the US started sanctioning it, eventually they bombed Pearl Harbour.

And don't forget how the Nazis were basically funded out of American pockets.

Just because the first shot was not fired by an American does not mean they were not the cause.
