I was wondering what might precipitate a war between the USA and Japan during the late 1930s to early 1940s - around the same time as OTL's war - but without a general European war. Assuming neutrality from the French and British, what could cause such a war?

I figure that the ultimate outcome is unlikely to be different from OTL, with a Japanese defeat, but if there were other implications of a Pacific War taking place without a counterpart in Europe, those would be good to hear as well.
