I hope I am not offending anyone, but that is the truth. |
how can say there was no way to avoid a war with the US, the US wasnt interested in going to war with japan or germany, it wasnt until pearl harbor that the US really got invovled in the war . they deserved what they got , if you look at the major ground battles in the pacific, the US command knew the japs wouldnt just give up , so they had no other option but to drop the bombs. |
in japans point of view, war with america was unavoidable. in order for them to continue their conquest of east asia, they needed to trade with the US. america had already let japan know that if it continued its push into asian countries, we would stop trading with them. japan was not about to stop its conquest, and so they had come to the conclusion that they would have to fight the US sooner or later. so, as trunks put it, they attacked first and had the element of surprise.
