Which countries were involved in Pearl Harbor?

Answer 1

This depends on your point of view and the politics of the day. At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour, America had various treaties with Great Britain as allies. Great Britain had a treaty with Japan, and Germany had a treaty with America (America was not happy with this treaty when the Nazis took over Germany). But America had no military treaty with Japan but they were trading together. Obviously, America's treaty with Britain was still valid but America could not get involved in the war for a number of valid reasons. America had no official political argument with Nazi Germany and although the U.S. made her position against Germany's actions clear, the U.S. could not get involved at that time. Once the attack started, the U.S. was too busy (and quite rightly so) trying to sort out the situation and get help to her citizens to be able to define political friends and enemies. Once the situation had 'crystallised' and the various politicians (from all sides) could draw breath , the 'Allies' during WWII were known as follows: Great Britain (this included her former colonies and dominions such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, B.W.I. South Africa, India and so on and on and on...) France, Russia and The United States of America. Now these were the main 'Allies' as one hears about in movies and books and so on. Of course prior to 1941, 'The Allies' did not include U.S.A. nor Russia. France was actually split for political and occupation reasons and Italy was with Germany until changing sides to the 'Allies' around '43. Germany and Japan did not have any treaty or agreement until after 1941. From 1939 to 1943 Germany, Vichy France (the half of France that was occupied) and Italy were known by history as the Axis Powers. Japan later officially joined them although there was an 'understanding' prior to this time. Politics is a very difficult thing sometimes as a country must sometimes be friends with a former enemy and enemies with a former friends. Take a look back at Britain/America, Britain/Japan, America/Japan, Britain/China. Britain as the former superpower has made friends of enemies and enemies of friends many times over. America has now taken over the role of the world's policeman and it is not an easy job. We should all really look at our various histories and current situations.
