No mention of why those pressures were applied? Maybe to slow down Japan's expansionist policies? Who was attacked up to that point, and by whom? The Japanese were clearly the aggressors.Semantics. Applying pressure to a smaller nation that has large physical impact to their populace will be seen as an attack. Verbal, physical, economic, to those feeling impact or threatened will view it as an attack.
You know, the policies that had them invading most of indo-china, after invading and occupying China in 1937, in their quest for natural resources. One of your "3 Rs."
Then there is the Tripartite Pact between Italy, Germany and Japan in the fall of 1940, when the "Axis Powers" were officially formed. Tying Japan to the greatest aggressor the modern world had seen to date, Germany. Having invaded or annexed most of central and eastern Europe.
You seem to have gone from a student of revisionist history to a teacher of it.
To read your diatribe here one would think Japan the victim.
THEY WERE THE AGGRESSORS! All over S.E. Asia.
Ahhh yes, the race card again,...Your disagreements aren't based on the overt dislike of a black man voted into power
