A) the failure of the business plot against FDR

B) the success of the soviets against the nazis.

Except the Allies had economic ambitions in China and SEA, which they already colonized, and would never accept Japan hogging all of the plunder for themselves.
>but Japan wouldn't bother with that if they got their oil supply!
The US cut off oil in the first place because Japan was threatening their economic investment in China.

flood detected fuck

there is no proof to this claim, at most america would have been neutral, but america would never have been an axis power, not because they're some wholesome democracy but instead because there was no point, not even the extreme right wing in the USA wanted that, it was a fantasy at best, a lot of you idiots would rather 100% believe the USA would go against all their interests just to "own da commiez XD"

>not even the extreme right wing in the USA wanted that
henry ford wanted that
prescott bush wanted that
patton wanted that
everyone at this rally wanted that

when push came to shove henry ford didn't, likewise prescott bush was an opportunist, wasn't an extreme right winger by any definition of the time, patton said that after the war had ended, and the only ones that actually did when it was relevant was the group in vidrel, which was literally a nazi funded org that became pretty irrelevant by 1940, it's just not true by any measure my friend

It's nothing extraordinary, peacetime countries send each other such advisors just like diplomats… There were German attaches in USSR 1941 May Day parade.

oh yeah i remember that one from apocalypse documentary, i always thought those attaché were sent to inspect what they see and take notes for future clashes

actually England was most likely to be an axis power

Reactionaries are hilariously unserious and indecisive about their own ideas

Read up on War Plan Red, or how the US was scared of a three front war against Canada, the UK & Japan, and how they tried to court an "unnamed" country in Europe to hold off the UK.
