Roosevelt placed an oil embargo on Japan They only had oil reserves for about a year. Thats why they attacked Pear Harbor when they did. They had to break the embargo or they would have run out of oil for their ships. They attacked all over Asia the same day the bombs fell in Hawaii. Their biggest mistake was they didn't bomb the oil reserves and repair docks at pearl Harbor. We got back into action pretty fast. Also our Carriers were out to sea They wanted to sink them. Our 4 carriers held to a standoff in the coral sea. We lost 1 carrier . At Midway we stopped their advance for good. They lost 4 carriers and a lot of experienced pilots. After Midway they were stopped from advancing. They were on the defense the rest of the war. Semper Fi.

Germany may have had the time to defeat Russia, changing the whole European theater.
