My historical understanding is that FDR was staunchly pro allied and did everything to support the allied cause for example supplying the other allied powers with weapons and other equipment and had sent volunteer fighter aircraft squadrons to Britain and China. However what prevented him from becoming fully involved was the inability of congress to budge and vote in favor of a declaration of war.
By Nov of 41 German Kriegsmarine U-boats had torpedoed some U.S. Navy destroyers. Suppose this had been enough to sway congress in favor of declaring war. How soon would the Americans deploy to the European war? Also, would the Americans join the Chinese in the second Sino Japanese war?
