By the end of 1940 the Italians in Lybia & in Abyssiania (Ethiopia) were being opposed by the British & Empire forces. Operation Compass, led by General Richard O'Connor drove the Italians out of Cyrenaica, but then for political reasons his force was cut to allow the British to try to intervene (Disasterously) in Greece.

As tensions escalated, the U.S. began to take measures to counteract Japanese aggression, ultimately contributing to the decision to impose economic sanctions and embargoes against Japan. These developments were pivotal in leading to the eventual conflict between the U.S. and Japan, culminating in the attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941.

In 2008, a stash of 22 rusted out, stripped Panzer tanks from WW2 were auctioned off in Bulgaria. They were left over from the war and sold off - starting bids for these rusted out relics was $124,467 USD. No word on what the final bids were.
