Hitler then offers eastern Poland to Stalin
September 1931, Japanese soldiers seized Manchuria for iron and coal resources
Japanese stage a fake Chinese attack to justify invasion
League of Nations condemns attack but does nothing
Chiang Kai-shek tries to appease the Japanese by letting Japan occupy northern China
Japanese slowly move southward
In 1936 Chinese and Japanese forces clash south of Beijing
Japanese seized the capital Kai-shek refused to surrender
Japan planned to invade Siberia and divide its resources with Germany
The Nazi-Soviet Nonaggression Pact changed that
Instead they plan to invade Southeast Asia, they were willing to risk a strong response from the U.S. and Europe
In 1940 Japan demanded the right to invade Southeast Asia and then invaded
U.S. responded by imposing sanctions until Japan withdrew from Southeast Asia
Japan badly needed oil and scrap iron from the U.S.
After a long debate Japan decided to launch a surprise attack on the U.S.
