Did the united states make the right choose in not getting involved in the war until pearl harbor?

I believe the United states didn't make the right chose in not getting involved in the war until pearl harbor because I feel that if we had been in the war in the first place more lives would have been lost but pearl harbor wouldn't have been able to happen cause we would be there to stop them

interdependence is when all participating groups and individuals depend on each other. if you depend on one anothers goods, you end up trading in order to get the items you're looking for. (for ex: if i have food and you have water, we trade in order to depend on each other to live)
