Both Americans and Europeans fell into the unfortunate habit of seeing <a href="/wiki/World_War_I" title="World War I">WW1</a> and <a href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">WW2</a> as separate wars, failing to comprehend that they were interlaced in a multitude of ways (not merely that one was the consequence of the other, or of the rash behavior of the victors after WW1).

It really began in 1895 with Japan's <a href="/wiki/Assassination_of_Empress_Myeongseong" title="Assassination of Empress Myeongseong">assassination of Korea's Queen Min</a>, and invasion of Korea, resulting in its absorption into Japan, followed quickly by Japan's seizure of southern Manchuria, etc. – establishing that Japan was at war from 1895 to 1945. Prior to 1895, <a href="/wiki/Japanese_invasions_of_Korea_(1592%E2%80%931598)" title="Japanese invasions of Korea (1592–1598)">Japan had only briefly invaded Korea during the Shogunate</a>, long before the <a href="/wiki/Meiji_Restoration" title="Meiji Restoration">Meiji Restoration</a>, and the invasion failed.

Aggressive War is not entirely a physical fact to be observed and defined like the operation of the laws of matter.

The injustice of a war of aggression is criminal of its extreme grosses, considered both from the point of view of the will of the aggressor to inflict injury and from the evil effects which ensue ... Unjust war are plainly crimes and not simply torts or breaches of contracts. The act comprises the willful, intentional, and unreasonable destruction of life, limb, and property, subject matter which has been regarded as criminal by the laws of all civilized peoples ... The Pearl Harbor attack breached the Kellogg–Briand Pact and the Hague Convention III. In addition, it violated Article 23 of the Annex to the Hague Convention IV, of October 1907 ...

At that time, the U.S. government did not have a large military or diplomatic intelligence network in China. A handful of trained military or embassy personnel reported on events, sometimes second-hand; compared with the sensational press coverage, the official U.S. documentation was scant.
