Description: Japan, like Germany, Italy, and Spain, saw militarists exploit economic crisis to gain control. Those who took over envisioned a Japanese-dominated hemisphere. In their aggression against China they risked a great deal in cutting off trade, even to the point of bombing and shelling an American and a British ship. Britain was busy with Hitler, and America meekly settled for an official apology. Roosevelt responded to continued Japanese aggression in the only way open to him: a trade embargo and the freezing of all Japanese assets., Probes the Japanese invasion of China in 1937 and Japan's eventual conquest of French Indochina, the Dutch Indies, Burma, Malaya and the Philippines. Shows why Japan decided to force the U S government into war in 1941.
