Brief Explanations

The attack on Pearl Harbor (December 7, 1941) directly led the US to enter World War II. This event galvanized public support and led to a significant increase in military enlistments. The Blitzkrieg of London (1940 - 1941) was a European - theater event that didn't directly involve the US in the same immediate way. The Soviet Union's declaration of war on Germany (1941) was a Soviet action. The discovery of concentration camps in Poland (known more widely later in the war) was a moral shock but not the immediate cause of the 1942 enlistment peak. The Pearl Harbor attack was the catalyst for US full - scale military engagement and thus the enlistment surge.

Answer:

the attack on the Pearl Harbor naval base by Japan
