[QUOTE="Caustic Burno, post: 1078461, member: 694"] Japan had started there conquest of the Pacific and Asia in 1937 long before the embargo's were put into place. The embargoes of then were just as effective as those of today virtually worthless. There were two navies in place that threatened there empire building one at Pearl the other the British at Singapore both soundly defeated at the start of the war. The British Navy had the distinct honor of losing the first battleship ever in a battle at sea to the airplane. During this same period they inflicted damages to the Australian Air Force that could interfere with their operations in the Dutch East Indies. The Japs misjudged the Americans will to fight and banked that the British armed forces were already over extended fighting the Axis in Europe and the Atlantic. Did the US know war was looming yes. Did political elements want in again yes. Was it a conspiracy at Pearl no, just plane old stupidity in thinking we were to far away from the Jap Navy to pull off such an attack. Japan had calculated this as they needed the conquered lands to supply raw materials to the island nation to maintain there new empire. At the end of the war Japan still had an army of almost 5 million most trapped a long way from home as there Navy had been destroyed. They had to maintain complete Naval superiority to maintain the empire. [/QUOTE]
