“Had Japan not been at war with China, ---- it [could] have made the mainland US”, ????? I always understood that it was a country poor in resources and it's invasion of S.E. Asia and China was also to acquire resources. One might then ask, if they had not acquired the resources elsewhere, could they even have invaded Pearl Harbor? Then again, if someone had assassinated Emperor Hirohito, well, that’s speculation isn’t it? Then again, they likely, not only could have, but also could have succeeded in occupying California, in short order, if they had tried? Hummmm ?
