If that were the case, Japan would have lost much faster.
Japan has no choice but to deal with the United States. The United States cut off Japan's sea oil routes. There is not enough **, Japan's equipment in China is just a pile of scrap metal, tanks, cars, artillery and planes are not in place. Fight bayonets, can Japan fight China?
Japan's biggest failure was its miscalculation of the strength of the Chinese nation. Japan should only occupy the three eastern provinces, have a protracted war against China, and then support warlords in the northwest and southwest regions, fool the Chinese civil war, and then rely on **** in exchange for resources in the Chinese mainland. And not to annex the land yourself.
While holding peace talks with the United States, we will consolidate the vested interests of the occupied areas of the three eastern provinces. Then the capital was moved to Shenyang, and the emperor moved. Merging Chinese characters and Japanese, ethnic fusion.

1.Japan's own shortcomings. As an island nation, Japan is well aware of the disadvantages that island nations bring.
Japan is surrounded by the sea on all sides and has a vast sea area, so it must attach importance to naval construction. Possession of strong sea power is the goal pursued by Japan. Only in this way will he be able to protect his overseas **, sea lanes and overseas markets.
In addition, Japan is an island nation and lacks resources. More than 90% of China's resources need to be imported. They believe that the line of security at sea is more important than anything else.
2.In the Pacific, only the United States can threaten Japan's maritime security. In the face of the American attitude towards the war, the Japanese would surely understand that the United States would not be in the Axis camp.
The best outcome would be neutrality, but in the face of domestic pressure, it became increasingly clear that the United States would enter the war. In this case, Japan had no choice but to strike at the US military base at Pearl Harbor in the Pacific Ocean in order to protect its maritime security.
3.Hibashi Hashimoto's geostrategy. From the point of view of Japan's strategic policy, its goal is not only the East Asian continent, but also East and Southeast Asia, and even the entire Western Pacific, to enter its sphere of influence with its great strength.
Japan's "continental policy" is to unify Asia and then the world. From the point of view of threats, Japan ignores China. It considers its adversary to be the United States, and that Japan's strategic policy can move forward only if the threat from the United States is eliminated.
The USSR was too busy fighting a tough war with Germany in Europe and did not care at all about crazy Japan.
4.Japan is also worried about the deterrence of the United States. The whole world is against Japanese fascism, and so is the United States.
At the time, Yamamoto was also a gambler. When he was the commander of the Combined Fleet of the Japanese Navy, he was well aware of the power of the United States. He also studied in the United States and witnessed with his own eyes the comprehensive strength of the United States, which is incomparable to Japan in terms of economic, industrial, and even military strength.
5.At this time, he played the role of a gambler. In his opinion, the only solution to the problems of Southeast Asia is to defeat the US Pacific Fleet.
Southeast Asia is a colony of the United States and Great Britain, and any attempt to move Southeast Asia will certainly provoke resistance from the United States and Britain. In this case, the US Pacific Fleet will have to be destroyed, leaving the United States to fight with Japan for control of a number of islands. This could buy Japan time for more resources.
In Yamamoto's view, if the United States could be shocked by Pearl Harbor, it would be a blessing from the emperor, and there were indeed people who did not agree with the war against Japan. But in order to appease the anger, the United States had to declare war on Japan and Germany. It was a gamble on Japan's national wealth, but it awakened the war potential of the United States, and Japan could only lose.
6.The Japanese offensive has changed. Beginning in 1937, Japan invaded China on a large scale and fell into the Chinese battlefield.
By 1941, the Japanese offensive began to slow down. The battlefield is too big, the battle front is too long, and resources such as oil cannot keep up with the underestimation of China's strength. The war depleted Japan's reserves.
There was a war with the United States, both for resources and for maritime security, because the United States cut off oil to Japan**. Japan is well aware of this, so it is necessary to wage war against the United States.
-
I know that the main reason is that the United States is very tough on Japan, and Japan wants to gamble, and Japan is too arrogant and underestimates the strength of the United States.
-
Because at that time, the United States was becoming more and more tough on Japan, and Japan wanted to gain territory and resources.
-
The main reason is that I was more confident at that time, and I also wanted to prove my ability.

As we all know, Germany and Japan were both the initiators of World War II, and many people think that these two countries are allies, if not how could they start World War II together? So what is the relationship between Germany and Japan?
In fact, Germany looks down on Japan in its heart, and many of Japan's equipment and technologies in World War II were forcibly brought over from Germany, because Germany believes that Japan can still play a role in World War II. Anyone who knows history should know that Japan and Germany never joined forces in World War II, why is that?
It turned out that Japan and Germany had different purposes in World War II, and the two countries had no common interests at all. In many cases, Japan has done things that have caused Germany a lot of headaches, and Germany thinks that as long as it infringes on its own interests, it can do whatever it wants.
Later, he did not expect that Japan would attack the United States to the death. This made Germany's opinion of Japan even greater, and in the end, Germany did not care about Japan's life and death, and did not want to make too many enemies in the world, so it finally surrendered early. Nowadays, there is basically no interaction between the two countries.
-
Why did Japan treat Jews differently than Germany during World War II?
-
Germany was beaten to the ground and shattered. It could have been wiped out. But in the end, Britain and the United States recreated Germany to counter France and the Soviet Union. But Japan surrendered because it was frightened by the atomic bomb, and it was a surrender under the leadership of the emperor. So I'm not convinced.
-
This is because all the main war factions in Germany have either died or surrendered and been subdued, but when Japan surrendered, there were still a large number of Japanese right-wing main station elements who did not want to surrender, so they did not sincerely admit their mistakes and admit their historical mistakes.
-
Germany was formerly a barbarian, and when he conquered Rome, he didn't think about pulling others off the horse to be the emperor himself, which is also a straight man with roots. In addition, the name of the Holy Roman Empire has always been in its hands since the Middle Ages, so the boss must be wrong and he will still have to win over the younger brother, and then the European Union.
The Japanese nation has great self-esteem, and militarism has always been a neurotic idea that I have for your good, but as a result, I was dried up by China, and I felt wronged, so I was entangled in my heart. Unfortunately, there was no international tribunal in China at that time.
-
If you want to elaborate on this, you can write a book.
To put it simply, Japan's provocation of the United States is mainly due to the following points: The United States hindered Japan's pace of aggression against other Asian countries at that time. The presence of the U.S. Pacific Fleet seriously threatened Japan to deliver strategic supplies from Southeast Asia back to the Japanese mainland.
Filipin was a colony of the United States at that time, and Japan could not complete its delusional dream of dominating all of Asia without driving the United States out. The United States** is ready to stop exporting materials to Japan that could be used for war. The United States** provided equipment and ammunition to Britain to resist the German offensive.
The intention is obvious, to dominate Asia.

World War II was a very large war in human history, involving more than a dozen countriesThe Germans and the Japanese caused the war is very painful, Japan is a small island country, the territory is very small, but it dares to start the Pacific War, openly provoke the United States, and make enemies of the United States, what is the reason?
Before the war started, the United States and Japan have always been in a cooperative relationship, each side takes what it needs, the cooperation is very good, and Japan is an important importer of the United States, and the amount of oil and steel imported every year is very large, and these things are very important to the war. Without these, Japan would be greatly affected.
Since the United States attacked Japan, it suddenly imposed an embargo on Japan, which is undoubtedly a blow to Japan, and there are only two ways in front of the Japanese, stop the war, or find new resources. Japan is unwilling to let go, they are reluctant to let go of everything under Chinese aggression, how can they let go of the fruits of their labor that they have finally obtained. Japan wanted to have resources and didn't want to lose its gains.
If you advance northward, you will lose the benefits of China's battlefield, and if you advance southward, you will come into conflict with the United States, and they will choose to invade Southeast Asia for the sake of interests. Many parts of Southeast Asia are colonies of the United States, and Japan will certainly harm the interests of the United StatesDriven by interests, they finally attacked the United States and attacked Pearl HarborThe Japanese negotiating team left the United States only a few hours before the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and the Japanese wanted to destroy the main force of the U.S. Navy through war, thus bringing the United States to the negotiating table. This war has hurt too many innocent people, resisting the war and living in peace.
-
The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor in order to conduct their Pacific War and weaken the strength of the United States, the biggest rival in the Pacific. This step proved to be his gain time and early initiative in the Pacific War.
-
At that time, he had already won a great victory in Asia, and in order to expand the results of the war, he pointed the finger at the United States.
-
Because Japan was a very powerful presence in Asia at that time, it had super strong strength.
-
Due to the unilateral announcement of the United States to terminate the war with Japan, Japan's oil and steel resources were threatened, and in order to open up the Pacific Ocean and ensure Japan's war resources, it had no choice but to declare war with the United States.
-
Because Japan was developing rapidly at that time. The country is very strong and ambitious.
-
When you have a chance to wipe out the strongest navy in the world at the time, you still have a chance of victory (Pearl Harbor).
-
The United States and Japan had always maintained a cooperative relationship, and the annual imports were huge, especially oil and steel, which were important for the war effort. But the United States suddenly imposed an embargo on Japan, which had a huge impact on Japan, so they either stopped the war or found new resources, and Japan was definitely not willing to give up the hard-won results, so they decided to find a new place to obtain resources, so they found Southeast Asia, which can fully support the resources used in the war. So for the sake of Southeast Asia, Japan began to fight with the United States, attacked their Pearl Harbor, and declared war on the United States.
-
From my personal point of view, Japan may be because of its own strength. Defiant.
-
Because at that time, Japan and the United States were not in the same camp, and they had to defeat the United States if they wanted to truly achieve this goal.
Let's analyze the strength of Japan during World War II from various aspects. >>>More
What is the theory upstairs At that time, the largest debtor of the United States was the United Kingdom, followed by France, that is to say, if Germany destroyed Britain and France, the United States would go bankrupt, at that time resources were tight, and the United States made a fortune by selling arms, but at that time, the war continued, and it was impossible to have full cash payment, so it could only be in debt, and at the beginning of World War II, Britain and France owed the United States more than 20 times more than Germany (I remember this number, only a little more) That is to say, the famine owed by World War I has not been paid off Therefore, the United States can only choose a position to stand on the side of Britain and France. There is also the fact that Hitler's goal was not to conquer the whole world, at least he did not mean to destroy Britain. Otherwise, Dunkirk would not have given the British a chance, and his goal was to capture France, stabilize Britain, and destroy the Soviet Union, so as to turn the whole of Eastern Europe into his own resource base. >>>More
If these 20,000 tanks can really play a practical role, then even if the United States, France and Britain fight at the same time, Germany will not be intimidated. >>>More
Joining the United States in the German attack on the Soviet Union and Germany single-handedly, the United States only 30 percent of the chance to win, the German regular army has 2.5 million, the United States only a few hundred thousand, and the strategic perspective is more than 10 years apart, saying that the United States does not have armored troops to form the main force. Moreover, the United States attacked Germany in one direction and did not have the advantage of fighting on two sides, and the number of tanks was not as large as that of Germany, so the chances of the United States winning were slim...
Because Japan did not invade China.
Basically all of Asia has traces of the Japanese invaders. >>>More
