Did US government in anyway planned i a war against Japan in July 1942?

By July 1942, the Japanese had already attacked the US and the war was already underway. Before the war began, the US had various war plans for the possibility of war with Japan. But none of these war plans included a US attack on Japan to start the war. All US plans assumed that the Japanese would start the war in one way or another, usually with a Japanese attack on the US forces on the Philippines. The US President had specifically told the US Army & US Navy leaders not to cause a war with Japan by accidental or intentional military action.


What was Britain's war strategy in the US during the war of 1812?

Since Britain was an established military and national empire; it simply had to destroy what they considered a "new" military, and a "new" un-civilized nation. They intended to defeat the US on the battlefield, and then destroy it's national capital. Both were done...but the war was nearly a draw anyway.


What year did the anti-war movement in America take place?

Why did the US join the war against the Nazi's?

There really wasn't much choice. After Pearl Harbor was bombed the US declared war on Japan and as a result Germany, who was an ally of Japan, declared war on US. We would have gotten involved anyway because the goal of Germany was world domination. The plan was beat England and then invade the US.


What where some names gave to the US in the Vietnam War?

Since the US did not declare war on North Vietnam but bombed them anyway, North Viet ground defense system personnel operating SAMs (Surface to Air Missiles), radar, and other AAA (Anti-Aircraft Artillery) systems referred to downed US airmen (shot down US jet aviators) as "air pirates." And the North had a tough time considering (accepting the fact) downed US airmen as legitimate POWs (Prisoners of War).
