    What if the U.S. reacted promptly to Japan's participation in WWI and its threat to Philippine SLOCs

    Yeah. For instance, in the Danish West Indies negotiations of 1915-1916, the US threatened to occupy the Danish West Indies if Denmark refused to sell them to the US. Nasty move on the part of the US, but it succeeded.
