Axis power negotiations on the division of Asia during World War II As the Axis powers of Germany , Italy , and Japan cemented their joint military alliance by mutually declaring war against the United States by December 11 , 1941 , the Japanese proposed a clear territorial arrangement with the two main European Axis powers concerning the Asian continent . On December 15 they presented the Germans with a drafted military convention that would delimit the continent of Asia into two separate " operational spheres " ( zones of military responsibility ) by a dividing line along the 70th meridian east longitude , going southwards through the Ob River ' s Arctic estuary , southwards to just east of Khost in Afghanistan and heading into the Indian Ocean just west of Rajkot in India , to split the " Lebensraum " land holdings of Germany and the similar " spazio vitale " areas of Italy to the west of it , and the Empire of Japan ( and the Greater East Asia Co - Prosperity Sphere ) to the east of it , after a complete defeat of the Soviet Union by the Third Reich . The Germans initially disliked this proposal , as its diplomats feared that it was a front for establishing a precedent for the specific delimitation of political spheres . The German army was also disappointed that it failed to contain any promises for Japan entering the war against the Soviet Union , or even to halt shipments of American supplies through the Pacific Soviet port of Vladivostok . The arbitrary border was further criticized by the Wehrmacht ' s office of military economy ( " Wi Rü Amt " ) because it cut through territories and states that comprised organic economic units whose parts were mutually dependent on each other . It instead proposed a division that would follow existing international boundaries , along the eastern border of Iran , the northern border of Afghanistan , the western border of China up to Tannu Tuva , and then northwards along the Yenisei river to the Arctic Ocean . Despite assigning all of British India and Afghanistan to Japan , this would give Germany a better and more easily defensible frontier in Siberia , and also grant it control over the Kuznetsk industrial basin in addition to the rich iron ore deposits of the eastern Ural mountains . Adolf Hitler found the Japanese proposal acceptable and approved it in full , possibly because he did not envisage Germany seizing much of any Soviet territory beyond the Ural Mountains .
