Wasn’t a trade war with Japan ultimately what caused us to go to war with them?
It is I think what caused them to attack Hawaii.

No...a trade war did not cause Japan to bomb Pearl Harbor....Japan needed raw materials to build their economy and war machine....Pearl Harbor was their way to try and seize control of the Pacific...and to help out Germany (who needed to keep the US out of Europe as long as possible)

Trade Wars have been going on for decades currently. Most nations have a current trade war with the US....only the Free Trader Globalists think it is not happening
