The Japanese were able to advance easily in 1941 to 1942 due to a combination of factors, including their highly effective military strategy, superior coordination, and the element of surprise. They launched a series of rapid offensives across Southeast Asia and the Pacific, exploiting weak Allied defenses that were still recovering from the early setbacks of World War II. Additionally, the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 crippled the U.S. Pacific Fleet, allowing Japan to seize territories with minimal resistance. This momentum was bolstered by their well-trained forces and the use of innovative tactics, such as aerial warfare and naval power.

When did the Japanese formally declare war on the US?

The attack of Pearl Harbor was on the morning of December 7th, 1941, but Roosevelt asked congress to declare war on Japan on December 8th, 1941 but in my History book it states, " Three days later, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States and congress declared a state of war with them too." This leads me to believe that the date is December 10th, 1941 that Roosevelt was able to declare war on Japan.

The US did not invade Germany. Yes we did! It is one reason we were able to catch Werner Van Braun - who got us into space. We captured other technologies as we raced for Berlin. Russia and Britain were our competition. Or do you mean we did not invade them first?


How did the Allies were able to stop Japanese expansion?

The Allies were able to stop Japanese expansion through a combination of strategic military campaigns, such as the pivotal Battle of Midway in 1942, which significantly weakened the Japanese navy. They employed a strategy of "island hopping," capturing key islands to use as bases for further attacks while bypassing heavily fortified positions. Additionally, the Allies' superior industrial capacity and coordination among forces, including the United States, Australia, and other nations, played a crucial role in turning the tide against Japan in the Pacific theater. Ultimately, these efforts culminated in Japan's defeat and the end of its expansionist ambitions.

Most people would say the Battle of Midway, June 4-6, 1942.

Thereafter the Japanese were strategically on the defensive, and were never able to make good the loss of the four carriers.

Which British painter painted 'Soldiers' in 1942?

Stanley Spencer 1891-1959 did quite a few paintings of soldiers during WW2. I have not, though, been able to locate one with the title of just 'Soldiers'. I think this is Edward Burra's 'Soldiers at Rye', c. 1941.
