Because as of now all we have is you saying "can you imagine...seriously?!?!?"

Okay, can you find me primary sources from Japan that say they attacked us solely because of our refusal to sell them oil? Let me know how that works out for you slick.

Don't be so obtuse. Objective analysis of history doesn't always work that way. Deductive reason is often employed in determining historical perspective based on time lines and logic. I have read this history before, so I know I am not the first person to make this astoundingly common-sense conjecture, although I am not going to invest the time to do your research for you to dig up articles in agreement with this astoundingly logical conclusion.

It is a fact that we attacked the Japs first. I can tell you this from primary sources. I have spoken with men who killed Japanese in China before Nov '41 while flying for the Flying Tigers... A bleedingly obvious American operation. The Flying Tigers were notorious for running their mouths and the world knew exactly what we were up to in the Summer of '41.... plus, it is highly likely that the purchase and deployment of the equipment was common knowledge.

If you think that our creating a mercenary air force then using them to successfully attack the Japanese in China before the attack on Pearl Harbor was a non-factor, then I suggest, in all seriousness, that you are suffering from cognitive dissonance.

It would be like acknowledging that someone lit the fuse to a stick of dynamite yet believe the explosion was initiated by static electricity.

You get ZERO points from me regarding online curriculum. Have you seen any school curriculem that documents the Japanese military control of the Chinese opium market or how the profits from opium was used in their war efforts? Unlikely that you have, yet it is well documented.

Can you find any Spanish documentation of the written languages of the native S. Americans? There was plenty of evidence.... but it was thrown into riverbeds..... History is written by the victors. You would have to be plain daffy to not understand the full implications of this if you have ever studied history.

Oh, and you get negative points from me for being a "teacher". The educational system is a fleckin joke and anybody who proclaims themselves to have been a part of it is appealing to authority from the wrong person. If you were a learned and wise individual..... you would keep that to yourself to maintain respect.

I love my 1934 Oxford dictionary. It is wild to see how the common meanings of words have been perverted.

A scholar is defined as one who accepts the beliefs that are presented to them.

In my circle, calling each other, "A scholar and a gentleman", is considered to be a sublime insult.

Yes, but not for the parts that you put in bold.

I think too many big words hurts his brain and his only reaction is to give neg reps

Edit - Just a joke, nothing personal intended
