Re: Japan's mistake
OK if you say so. But even if this is theoretical for Japan to get a Peace with the US it has to have a basis in some reality right? So just to point out that even if they had the Falklands it would not prevent the US Navy from going around South America to access the Pacific The Falkland Islands are too small and vulnerable to present a threat to the US Navy. Not to mention the British and Argentines.The Japanese would not be able to base a sizable amount of aircraft to be a threat nor could it be used as a suitable naval base. Not to mention the distance and difficulty of supplying it. Also If they could't even have the resources to invade the US then how could they attack,take and hold the Panama Canal and the Falklands. And large scale bombing from what Islands close to the US? Hawaii? The Aleutians? The only land based bomber that would have been close to being able to hit the US would have been the Nakajima G10N and development of that didn't start until 1943. Like I said the only way for the Japanese to have Peace would have not to attacked the US at all.
