On December 11, 1941, Germany and Italy then declared war on the U.S., at which point the U.S. formally entered the European portion of the conflict as well.

During this program we will discuss the overall involvement of the United States in the conflict, with a timeline of some key events and battles that eventually brought the war to a close.
