Without more details it's difficult to be certain, but you may be thinking of the ABCD (American/British/Chinese/Dutch) line in 1940. The named countries (and others, but those specifically listed probably had the most impact) embargoed iron ore, steel, and oil sales to Japan in an effort to discourage Japanese militarism.

When did world ward II begin?

World War II began in the 1930, officially. A man name Adolf Hitler was invading the countries around Germany during that time. Japan began invading an area called Indochina. President Roosevelt was not happy about this and stopped all the exports going to Japan. On December 6, 1941 Japan bombed a place in Hawaii called Pearl Harbor to get revenge on stopping the exports. Naturally, we became enraged and began to help the invasion on Europe and we declared war on Japan.
