An incident would not have been needed-Pearl Harbour still would have happened, just without Hitler declaring war on the US. The Battle Of The Atlantic would still have been won by the Allies, it just would have taken longer without the US fully committing to it. US participation would still have increased though, and if Germany did not declare war (which they should not, to make this scenario more likely), the US would have declared war on Germany in 1943. It might have been a different situation with a truce though.

@CWO:
The principle, in a nutshell, states that the shooting accuracy of movie bad guys is inversely proportional to their numbers.
That is a very accurate statement in the world of cinema.

I’d say it’s one of those exceptions that proves the rule. If it took 70,000 to 300,000 Persians (Herodotus claims a figure as high as two-and-a-half million) to kill 300 Spartans, that’s actually a pretty pathetic performance on the part of the Persians.
It’s a good thing the Principle of Evil Marksmanship isn’t built into the A&A rules. If that were the case, increasing the size of your attacking force would decrease the chances of rolling a hit against an enemy force. (Now that would be a bizarre concept for a house rule.)

True. However, speaking just about shots and arrows, the Persians did get them all.
