America has been embargoing Japan’s spicy, expansionist dreams… What will Japan do about it? And how will America respond???

In the days and months and years before launching the infamous attack on Pearl Harbor, Japan was trying to expand–into China (Manchuria). But in light of the atrocities he committed (Nanjing Massacre, etc.) the League of Nations, and particularly the United States, tried to limit this expansion by refusing to trade key resources, and placing embargoes on trade with Japan.

To the Japanese, this represented meddling in their affairs, and made war with USA inevitable. The Japanese hoped that the attack on Pearl Harbor would cow the USA into staying out of Japan’s business and keep him out of the war, allowing Japan to expand throughout south-east Asia and acquire the resources (oil, etc.) that it needed. Up until this point, USA had largely stayed out of the various wars occuring in Asia and Europe, but will that be the case after Japan’s sneaky lil’ attack…?

## Summary

The United States of America is relaxing in Honolulu, Territory of Hawaii. America, relaxing, pulls out a newspaper, saying "September 1939: War Erupts in Europe!"

In Europe, the French are fighting the Germans. The French are overwhelmed, and against the commander's request, the French Republic surrenders. Claiming victory, the German Reich is asked by Japan if expansion is as easy as that. The German Reich claims that the Aryan race needs more space to live in, known as "lebensraum": if the German Reich wants something, they get it. Italy agrees with the German Reich on this, claiming that they are seizing land in Northern Africa. The French Republic refuses to admit defeat, but is forced into it by the Germans. Japan now sees how the German Reich is taking more territory, while the French Republic claims that America is on his way.

America, unwilling to read more, tosses the newspaper aside, when he is approached by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, who crashes his ship onto the beach. Britain claims that there is a war going on in Europe, but America is unwilling to join in, Britain then changes the subject from "war" to "stuff", but America still refuses to budge. America claims they need a break, and would not join in unless something affects him. After such a big war and the Great Depression, America says that they just want a break.

In China, the communists are fighting a brutal wear against Japan. Japan complains that the German Reich gets to expand without worrying about resources or borders, and he can just expand, whereas Japan is an island that needs imports. When a Japanese tank is blown up and destroyed, Italy asks Japan if they can make more, but Japan claims that America slapped embargo’s on them. Italy convinces Japan to attack America first, and claims that the German Reich would win the war.

Back in Hawaii, America is snorkeling when the navy issues him a phone call from Britain. After Britain insisted, America picked up the phone, and Britain called to show they are fighting the Germans. Britain calls America for help, but America claims he is still on vacation. Britain is shot down, and claims they are losing the greater war. America sends guns, tanks, and ships. America then hangs up.

Come December 1941, Japan sailed towards Hawaii, claiming they have no choice, and that America leveraged embargoes on them. Some question the decision, but they assure that the American Pacific Fleet would be crippled. Some of the sailors get seasick and vomit.

Back on Hawaii, the Americans get a shot, and claims that all vacations sould be permanent, but his allies would still receive help from the sidelines. America notices the Japanese fleet, but claims that they are just the Red Circles, a famous band. The Japanese arrive and bomb Hawaii, crippling the Pacific Fleet. The Americans fight back against the Japanese, successfully shooting down some planes. After the attack, America claims that they will go to war.

While he British are planning another offensive, America arrives, but Britain is surprised. America convinces Britain that he reflected, but Britain knows that it was because of the Pearl Harbor bombings that America joined.
