1941, the year that they realised that just selling weapons and making vast profits was not the best way to be neutral.
Had it not been for Pearl Harbour then they would have sat on the fence forever.

The US declared War on Germany on Dec 11 1941. The first US bombing raid on Germany was at Wilhemshaven on Jan 27 1943. The Germans surrendered at Stalingrad on Feb 2 1943....it takes time for these facts to sink in.
