The Japanese British/ Dutch War of 1941

[ABWorsham4]

This question has been in my thoughts for a few days. What’s your thoughts on this subject?

Not declare war on Germany and Italy, otherwise not sure really. I think they would have wanted to stay out. Thy couldn’t have stayed out if  the Philippines had been attacked, but I think they would  have stayed out for some time if it was over the Dutch possessions.
I am sure they would never have been so unprepared in the Pacific, at Pearl especially, if it had worked out this way.

( I know this is old, don´t blame me for that)

I think they cut off al ties with japan, but they´re not going to war unless the phillipines were attacked.

They were very isolationist, and I don´t think congress sees an japanese attack on SE asia (without american colonies) as a reason good enough to vote for a DOW.

No apologies, some topic need resurrected.

America would have got the scissors out!

We would have cut off all ties with them. The next one would have been a declaration of war.
