Germany was the main target, always was. FDR's main purpose was to free Europe from Hitler. We fought a holding war against Japan for 2 years because Germany came first.
Brass tacks here, nobody cares about alliances and who signed what treaty, each nation will do what it sees in it's best interest first and formost, allways. FDR was an opurtunist and worked it to the best advantage possible. By war's end he had manouvered the US into the only world power.
I don't care about supposed conspiracies , nor am I condemning the guy here, he did great to do that, massive kudos are due. I may not have done it the same way he did, but I certainly would have tried to ensure American dominance by the end. Just like Stalin was trying to do for Russia and Mao was doing for China and Chruchill was doing for Britain and all the rest of the national leaders were doing for thier respective countries.
