During World War II, why did Japan dare to fight the United States but did not dare to fight the Sov

There is nothing to dare to do, Japan, as a maritime civilization, is far more valuable than occupying cold Siberia, and does not have the conditions to fight another land war.

In World War II, Japan fought the United States because it misread the information of its allies. In addition, Japan had already fought a war with the Soviet Union in 38 years and then lost. So, in fact, Japan and the USSR fought very early, in Outer Mongolia.

Japan fought the United States because Germany gave Japan a misleading message, at that time Nazi Germany was already preparing for a full-scale war against the Soviet Union, and then shared information with the Axis allies in advance, saying that a full-scale war with a certain power might occur in the near future.

Then, from Japan's point of view, the Soviet Union and Germany had a non-aggression pact, while the United States had been sending materials and resources to the Allies. Then, Japan tacitly prepared the battle plan for the United States as the opening of the warring state, and the battle plan for the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was approved in January 41. However, in June 41 Germany went to war against the Soviet Union.

This left Japan's battle plan to move forward head-on (defeating the United States would indeed have a beneficial effect on Japan's battlefield, so Japan had this incentive to go to war).

Because Japan's navy was relatively strong during World War II, it could still carry it when the United States did not fully allocate war resources, and the army was not at the same level at all.

<> "What will happen if Germany does not fight the Soviet Union in World War II, and Japan does not fight the United States?"

In World War II, if Germany had not fought the Soviet Union and provoked the Soviet Union, and Japan had not fought the United States, what kind of different outcome would there have been?

If Germany did not fight the Soviet Union, Britain should not be able to hold out for long, Hitler would definitely put his army in Britain to fight, the German army is really powerful.

Even if this is the case, it should be predictable that the Soviet Union will attack Germany in the later period, and Stalin is not the kind of simple person, the same ambitious, and he is also a solo judge. When the Soviet Union was really well prepared, it would definitely attack Germany.

On the Japanese side, if Japan did not fight the United States at that time, it would also choose to fight the Soviet Union with Germany, then the Soviet Union might be more troublesome, and the Soviet Union could not fight in terms of navy, after all, there are really many aircraft carriers. But in the case of the Army, Japan is completely inadequate.

Therefore, on the whole, even if Germany did not fight the Soviet Union at that time, it would have entered the war when the Soviet Union became stronger, and Japan would not have fought the United States, so the United States would have chosen to enter the war at that time, just like World War I.

In fact, sometimes when we look at history, we always feel that history will change because of some factors.

But in fact, this is not the case, the general direction of history will not change because of the decision of one person, and history has always gone in the direction of justice.

Japan did have the idea of attacking the Soviet Union, and the two sides actually fought a battle, which was the "Battle of Nomenkan" in 1939.

Like the previous methods of the Japanese, this time it was also fought without a declaration of war (by the way, China and Japan officially declared war on each other after the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941), and the battle lasted only two months, and the result was that the Japanese army, which lacked armored troops, was defeated by the Soviet army with a relatively high degree of mechanization in the Mongolian steppe, and it can be said that the Japanese army, with the spirit of not being afraid of death, can only beat the armies of China and some small Asian countries, and it is not possible to face European-style troops, From then on, Japan knew that it was no match for Soviet tanks, and the non-aggression pact between the two sides was hastily signed.

The war between Japan and Russia could only be a border conflict, and the Soviet Union had no intention of occupying northeastern China at that time, and Japan was not interested in the barren western slopes of the Soviet Union. In contrast, Southeast Asia, which is rich in oil and rubber, played an important role in Japan's war economy, and Japan had to go to war with Britain and the United States if it wanted to seize Southeast Asia, and in 1941 the United States had embargoed Japanese oil, and Japan believed that only by defeating the United States could it get important Indonesian oil fields, so war became inevitable.

Although Germany and Japan were Axis powers, they only formed an alliance when their interests coincided, and Japan would not contain the Soviet Union in order to give Germany its life, and even if Germany defeated the Soviet Union, it would not invade the United States for the sake of Japan's interests, and no country would wholeheartedly fight for the interests of other countries.

At that time, China was poorly equipped, and it was divided by various warlords, and the civil strife was quite serious, and it was rich in resources... He will definitely beat China after all, soft persimmons, and other Asian countries are also soft persimmons, not to mention North and South Korea. **All of them were beaten to Chongqing...

The United States has a lot of naval battles, and Japan actually has a certain advantage, but it is the United States that provokes things and Japan fights, and Japan will not fight countries that are difficult to fight for no reason... Well, the Soviet Union, in fact, I don't understand why it didn't fight, at first Nomenkan was lost, but that was in 1939... Later, the German army attacked the Soviet Union and hit Stalingrad...

In fact, Japan's Kwantung Army in the northeast may not lose if it is flanked, but in fact, after the fact, I think that the Axis powers may not be very strong, and Japan does not want Germany to dominate.
