The Economic Strangulation of Japan How Sanctions Led to Pearl Harbor

Before Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the war had already begun — not with bullets, but with economics. This video uncovers how U.S. sanctions and trade embargoes choked Japan’s access to vital oil and resources, pushing the nation toward a desperate decision that changed world history. From the rise of Japan’s empire to its collapse under economic pressure, this is the untold story of how financial warfare can ignite real conflict — and why it still matters today.

  1. i knew it was about money, not that bullshit school tried to feed us ! the wealthy always starting wars, killing off our young, and profiting, how patriotic !

  2. so Pacific War 2.0 has already begun. We`re just waiting for the sirens…

    this also helps to explain the ukraine war. No way the usa was going to allow the EU/Germany to partner with russia on resource (oil,gas) trade. Those ties had to be severed, that gas pipe had to be blown

  3. So your saying the U.S forced Japan to attack at Pearl Harbor . Was our fault . And maybe the U.S is being forced to take resources in the future. Maybe we need the Greater north and south America co prosperity sphere. Think about it
