You included no paragraphs or reference to any passages so I gave the best answer I could based on general historical knowledge.

The U.S. all the way on the other side of the Atlantic and the Pacific (Japanese perspective), watched with some alarm especially when the world thought that Britain would fall. As a result, the U.S. began to ramp up preparations for war such that when the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in December 1941, the U.S. were not completely unprepared for war.
