Actually the Pacific Theater was already engulfed in war before December 7th--it just didn't involve the US. You might have made the Midway and Guadalcanal questions a little harder. Also, it's Mediterranean.

There were four battles for Kharkov. Please specify Third Battle of Kharkov. The first major Soviet victory was not at Stalingrad, it was outside Moscow. The Germans were never able to mount an offensive against the capital after that. Also, be aware that Japan was already engaged in a full scale war with China and had invaded French Indochina before Pearl Harbor ever happened.
