It is said that Germans dominate the American population. Why did the United States side with Britain instead of Germany in the two world wars?

First, even though Germans have an advantage among American minorities, they are still minorities, and their tiny voices have no influence on the American government.

Second, a large part of German immigrants moved to the United States because of Hitler's Jewish extermination policy, and naturally there was no protection for Nazi-ruled Germany.

Third, those patriotic German immigrants, under the call of "returning to the motherland" before the outbreak of Hitler's war, have returned to Germany, even though they may have been born in the United States (refer to the American drama Brothers Company, in which the US military captured a group of Germans, one of whom was an Illinois).

Fourth, Britain is a traditional ally of the United States and the last barrier for the United States to defend Germany and attack itself. Once Britain fell, the northeastern part of the United States, which was the most industrialized at that time, would be completely exposed to German attacks. Therefore, perhaps the United States wants to gain the greatest war benefits, but it will not allow its land to be threatened potentially, so the United States stands on the side of Britain.

Fifth, the reason why the United States joined the Second World War was that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on February 7th. 194 165438. With Japan, Germany and Italy, the friend of the enemy is his own enemy. Therefore, the United States has no reason to support Germany and oppose Britain.
