It is important to consider that Japan did not go from peace to world war at once, rather they were sliding into this step by step for decades, starting with expansion into Korea, Manchuria, then a long drawn stalemate in China. Combine this with strong nationalism and a sense of superiority, ambitions to follow the Europeans to being a colonial power. When things got really bad in China, backing our was impossible without losing honour (a strong factor in japanase society) and US embargo just added to a feeling of being pushed into a corner... | |

As the U.S. entered officially, Churchill said that from now on, winning the war is just a matter of time. So, he must be very aware of this "sleeping giant". | |
