What if Hitler hadn’t declared war on the US after Pearl Harbor? Would the US have declared war on Germany and adopted the Europe First military strategy, or would we have focused on defeating Japan instead? If we had done that, I think the Soviet Union would still have defeated Germany, but without D-Day occurring almost all of Europe would’ve gone communist.

The US was already de facto at war with Germany, guarding the shipping lanes and even engaging in military actions with U-boats in the Western Atlantic, and I am sure it would not have taken long for the active war to begin after Germany’s Axis partner Japan had attacked the US.
