This was a little known war that may have led to Pearl Harbor. The Jappers were soundly thrashed by the Soviet armor, and it may have led them to give up any attempt to take Soviet territory, and create their empire in eastern and southern Asia. That put them in conflict with the USA’s interests in the region.
