1 World War II in Asia

2 Roosevelt’s efforts to help England fight Germany caused Japan to attack the U.S. As Germany began sinking British ships, Britain began pulling warships from Southeast Asia. This left India and China open to attack.

3 World War II in Asia To keep Japan from getting strategic materials, the U.S. restricted the sale of Iron or oil to Japan. This made Japan join forces with Germany and Italy. (Axis Powers) So… the U.S. sent lend-lease aid to China and sent General Douglas MacArthur to the Philippines.

4 World War II in Asia So… the Japanese invaded English and Dutch colonies in Indochina (Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos) So… the U.S. restricted the sale of Oil even more and would not sell them any until Japan made peace with China and withdrew from Indochina
