America would not have entered WWII is the most logical answer. Also, because of that, America would not have developed anti-Japanese feelings, and Japanese Americans would not have been detained in camps. The cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki would probably not have been bombed, and the rates of leukemia in the cities afterward probably would be much lower.
Since America probably would not have entered WWII, or if they did they would've much later then they did, then the Holocaust would have done more damage, as the Americans were one of the major liberators of concentration camps.
That being said, we might not have some of the accounts of the Holocaust that we have today, since one of the most well known Holocaust memoirs, Night, was written by Elie Wiesel, who was detained in Buchenwald towards the end of his incarceration, which was liberated by American troops.
Even pop culture would be influenced, as there are many WWII movies based on experiences of American soldiers, such as Flags of Our Fathers.

a man whom i called Uncle George worked for the Roosevelt administration during that time. his opinion was that Fakir D Roosevelt was the most bitter person he had ever met because his father had landed him a job with the Navy Department during World War Once and prevented him from single handily saving the world from the Kaiser. Fakir D. was determined to "kill his Kraut" even if he had to use other Americans to do the actual killing . (Remember he was crippled in both mind and body) Other factors making Fakir D. try to get America in the fray were his love of the Soviet system which he called "the most perfect form of government in exsistance." Hitler had led Germany out of the Depression by 1937 and had a visceral hatred of the "international Jew Banker" whom he blamed for the depression. In 1937 the United States was still mired in the worst of the Depression. The only feasible way to Russia from Germany is through Poland. In late 1937 or early 1938 Britian and France concluded a treaty to defend Poland if Germany invaded on the way to Russia. Notice that I said Germany. When Russia invaded Poland in September the French And the British didn't declare war on them but did on Germany. The Russians slaughtered 75% of the Polish upper class at Katryn Forest. The Germans got the blame. Roosevelt cut off the steel and oil exports to Japan to get them to attack us. This cutoff occured after the Tri-Partite Treaty between Germany Italy and Japan was signed. Fakir D. knew that this would have the effect of getting the Japanese to attack us. If that had not occured then some other way would have been manufactured to get the United States into the war. So the answer to your question is nothing would have changed. The United States would still have been dragged into the war against the same opponents. The only change is the start and ending dates.

That's a really great question. I love reading books about alternate history, esp those written by Harry Turtledove, Eric Flint and S M Stirling.
Its just possible that if the Japanese had not attacked Pearl Harbor that even tho we would have been dragged eventually into the European war we might have avoided the Asian one.
In which case the Japanese stood a good chance of winning and being in total control of all of Asia and Australia.
There is also a chance that we would have stayed out of the European war as well which would have allowed the Nazi's a better chance to finish the Holocaust. I don't believe they could have won the war against Russia but might have fought to a stand still and remained in control of most of Europe.
Or Russia may have won in which case we may have eventually lost the cold war as well. Russia would have had all the resources of Europe to use against us.

Lets say the US did not enter World War II.
Consider that the US military received alot of foreign scientific information during and after that war.
Consider Britains importance in the world, the impact of things that they have done for good or ill. Britain was in quite bad shape when the US finally decided it was time to join up. Who knows what would have happened to them.
Consider also that france and other countries would not have been liberated, at least not so soon.
And consider this; terror reeked by the Nazis effected more than just Jews it included anything affront to the Nazi idealism.

I believe that the US would have been involved in the war eventually because Britain was actually by themselves and only were hanging on thanks to their bold stand at the Battle of Britain. The Russians were in no position nor probably have the desire to help Britain. They also have to worry about the Japanese until they signed a non-aggression pact with them which ultimately led to their decision to Pearl Harbor. even so, with the predicament that the Allies were in and the shortness of their resources the US would have entered eventually.

maximum in all probability scenario is that the U. S. might want to have entered WWII at a good later date. This previous due get admission to into the conflict maximum in all probability might want to have resulted contained in the defeat of the soviet union or no less than crippled them so extraordinarily that they would not were waiting to counter attack. Moscow maximum definately might want to have fallen. this may have led to a bloodier clonflict in North Africa because the Nazis might want to have had extra aspects and adult males to field in North Africa. finally besides the indisputable fact that the Allies might want to have compelled them out. From their Italy might want to fall to the Allies considering that Hitler placed too a lot self belief in Mousolluni's troops. besides the indisputable fact that back the conflict for Northern Italy might want to were extra brutal. ultimately the liberation for France might want to were the most bloodiest conflict of all. Hitlers would not ought to have split his forces between an jap and Western the front and may want to were waiting to unfavourable extra defenses into France. maximum in all probability the Allies might want to have invaded Spain which regardless of if develop into impartial had a authorities which leaned in direction of Germany, develop into significantly a lot less defended than France and had a Northern resistance which develop into professional-Allies. contained in the proper the Allied loose up france, belgium, and far of the Western international places yet i believe the cost is so negative the Allies are hesitant to push on Germany and settle for a truce with the Axis in which Japan returns the Phillipines, Guam, and a range of of alternative islands yet holds china, to boot as Germany keeping jap eu countries. it really is equipped that the Allies do not study of the Genocide. In that experience the conflict with Germany maintains until eventually the Nazis are defeated or the German military revolts and forces the Nazis from capacity.

We would have probably never went to war. We wouldn't have had to pay restitution to Japan for using the H-bomb. We also maybe wouldn't be considered a world super power.
