Scenario is from the book "The Great Pacific War."
In 1931, what if Japan invaded Manchuria, Formosa, and Korea. Afterwards, they launch a surprise attack on the Panama Canal. In the book (written before the Great Depression) they do this because an American mining company gets a contract in China. And increasing US influence. But you can also add the Great Depression as a factor to the war. The war ends in 1933 with the US winning.
How would this war go down strategically and tactically? How would it effect the American public? Could Hoover use the war to get reelected like FDR? How would WW2 play out in Europe?
