Would WWII have gone differently if in 1941:
- Japan had already invaded China;
- The U.S. had already put its embargo of raw materials on Japan, triggering Japanese search for alternative sources of oil and minerals; BUT
- Japan understood that it could not militarily defeat the United States.
- On December 7, 1941 Japan launches its war of conquest in the Pacific Islands;
- Indonesia (Dutch East Indies), Singapore and Malaya, all British and Dutch territories are conquered;
- American territories Hawaii, the Philippines, and Guam are completely left alone;
- The Japanese don't molest American ships or bases.
- Does America come to Britain's aid, or do we remain isolationist?
- Does Japan keep their new empire?
