Yeah by placing an oil embargo on you for doing war crimes in China lmao. You know shit's fucked when the country who terrorized the Philippines and Puerto Rico a decade or two before was all "Maybe cool it with the babies on bayonets and mass prisoner executions?"
Let's be real, the US in the 30s couldn't give a shit about Japanese war crimes in China, the embargo was pure power politics and protectionism
Lenin in 1918 even predicted that war, though it started later than he thought because neither Japan nor USA were ready for it.
"the League of Nations was very impolite to us, which is why we walked out on those meanies"
😤
The US embargoed them entirely to prevent an imperialist rival from rising, it was never about the atrocities, they were always an excuse.
Which is one of Japan's biggest issues with the whole thing, they were pissed off that the western empires didn't care about atrocities, but that a non-western country was the one doing them.
