The Attack on Pearl Harbor, 79 Years Ago

[WolfBear]

Japanese were not fighting Soviets at the time, border conflict ended two years ago.

That comment of mine was made in response to HL's comment here:

Well, if the U.S. goes through with an oil embargo on Japan as a result of a Japanese attack on the Soviets, the Japanese reaction might be to go South anyway if they overreact instead of compensate with the Northern Karafuto oil fields. As for the U.S. there was numerous incidents in 1941 which failed to move the needle much, if any. Hitler had moved to reign in the Kriegsmarine, and Congress in September had already started showing some spine with the President over provocations in the Atlantic.

While reading Richard Frank's book, Tower of Skulls, there was a blurb about the alleged spy Harry Dexter White and his apparent influence over the Treasury Department and provoking a War with Japan.
