I have following scenario in mind: Japan attacks China. As in real world it makes USA vary of their business with Chinase (real or potential) so they proceed with worse and worse terms of trade for Japan, leading to embargo. Unlike real world Europe is in peace, if uneasy one. There is some sabre rattling between the Powers, but the all out war is avoided.

Question I: Is it propable that Japan would still declare war on US just out of spite of embargo, when they can still trade with other Powers.

Question II: supposedly they still do make war. How much harder would be defeat of better supplied Japan if there is at least part of USN Atlantic warships available.
