What if the United States or Britain backed Japan during the Sino-Japanese war? I believe the United States sent aid to China because they thought it would be more economically beneficial, but with a weaker China Lobby, and stronger "Japan Lobby", could the sides be flip-flopped? You could also drive this by the Nazis aligning themselves with China instead of Japan.

As a final kicker, would it be possible for Japan to conquer China if it had the full backing of the U.S.A.? Lend-Lease, and all that?


Is this plausible?
