1. World War II- Part 27- War will be coming to Pearl Harbor. The stepping stones that will lead to the Pearl Harbor attack on December 07, 1941 are in the planning. Once Japan had attacked French Indo-China in 1940, USA placed a complete embargo on American scrap steel and oil imports on Japan in July 1941. This embargo permitted the freezing of all Japanese assets in USA, impacting Japan's access to vital resources, especially oil which Japan imported 80% from the USA. Later, Japan will decide to attack Pearl Harbor. Do you believe that the attack on Pearl Harbor could have ever been prevented based on Japan's expansion interests and its lack of natural resources with the US embargo on Japan?
