Answer 11

It was a marriage of convenience. Hitler seemed unstoppable so they needed as many allies as possible. They just happened to be fighting the same enemies, so they became the same allies even if it was fraught with suspicion and mistrust.

Answer 12

That's pretty much it.

Just to add a bit more, German aggression had essentially ensured that the West went to war with Germany. After crushing Poland, the Low Countries, and France, the UK was the only country that the Germans didn't decisively knock out yet in Europe. Everyone else was either neutral or had allied themselves with the Axis. Roosevelt wanted to support the UK and the Soviets with more than arms and equipment, but isolationists essentially kept him from doing so until Pearl Harbor.

When the US finally entered the war in '41, Germany had already launched Operation Barbarossa earlier that year with the largest land invasion in history against the USSR. Hitler had also declared war against the United States a few days after Pearl Harbor. But the Lusitania sinking was an event that contributed to WW1, not WW2.
