>After that, the USA said, "We must manage the Manchurian railway together with Japan. The U.S. military will settle in Manchuria to protect the railway from Chinese terrorists (who actually were supported by the USA)."By this strategy, the USA could surround Japan with a huge geopolitical triangle of Hawaii, the Philippines, and Manchuria.
>This means the UK and the USA could control Japan and even China by using Japan effectively, like a chess game on the world map.Japan feared that if Americans settled in Manchuria like they did in Hawaii, they could invade Japan from there, so Japan refused.
>This refusal made the international bankers in the USA HUGE ANGRY. From this point, the UK and the USA viewed Japan as an enemy.The UK and the USA started openly supporting Han Chinese terrorists and to attack Japan.
Also, after Japan weakened Russia, international bankers in the UK and the USA connected with Russian communists, leading to the communist revolution and the creation of the Soviet Union.
This means the UK and the USA had many communist spies as well.
The Soviet Union quickly made Mongolia communist and moved towards Manchuria. If the Soviets took Manchuria, Japan was over.
Japan feared this but had to handle it alone. Japan needed to eliminate the Han Chinese terrorists in Manchuria, who were attacking with support from the USA. Japan settled in Manchuria to block the Soviets.
Japan reinstated the Manchurian emperor to establish Manchukuo, supporting them from behind.
The UK and the USA were even angrier and demanded that Japan give up all interests in Manchukuo except the Manchurian railway.
Japan refused and unilaterally withdrew from the League of Nations. Japan then allied with Germany and Italy as the Axis powers to maintain control over Manchukuo.
The USA and the UK decided to fully support the Han Chinese in attacking Japan more aggressively.
>This gradually escalated into the China-Japan War and the Pacific War.
