Frustrated At
The
Lack Of Progress
And
Feeling
The
Pinch Of
The
American-British-Dutch Sanctions
Japan Prepared
For
War
On
20 November
A
New Government Under Hideki Tojo Presented
An
Interim Proposal
As
Its Final Offer
It
Called For
The
End Of American Aid
To
China
And
For Lifting
The
Embargo
On
The
Supply Of Oil
And
Other Resources
To
Japan
In
Exchange
Japan Promised Not
To
Launch Any Attacks
In
Southeast Asia And
To
Withdraw Its Forces From Southern Indochina
The
American Counter-proposal Of 26 November Required That Japan Evacuate All Of China Without Conditions
And
Conclude Non-aggression Pacts With All Pacific Powers. That Meant Japan Was Essentially Forced
To
Choose Between Abandoning Its Ambitions
In
China
Or Seizing
The
Natural Resources
It
Needed
In
The
Dutch East Indies
By
Force;
The
Japanese Military Did Not Consider
The
Former
An
Option
And
Many Officers Considered
The
Oil Embargo
An
Unspoken Declaration Of War
