If we accept the fact the USA had no alternative but to develop a doomsday weapon...

...then we have to accept the fact the potential was unleashed by a madman in Germany with no respect for life, except, his own Aryan Race. I sincerely believe Hitler meant it. He wanted a weapon to sterile the world and rebuild it after he was finished with is war to end all wars.

I believed he hated the world and every aspect of any nation that did not service is purpose. Why otherwise the weapon? Why the idea?

To ask that question is a bit dangerous, because, today we have all kinds of imaginations creating all these films that will be reviewed by peers at the awards tonight. But, to realize such a weapon was never conceived until it came as a priority to Hitler's new nation makes it all the more a reality.

Let's just say Japan and Hitler had succeeded in the war. The fact the scientists were in the USA was irrelevant. The Axis Powers would have owned the technology that was being developed with his scientists and being prepared to use as a weapon.

It is a lot to think about.

It is nearly understandable why Pearl Harbor happened in 1941. If Japan was to stop the insane weapon of mass destruction it was now or never; so the Kamikaze pilots were a given.

There isn't much written about the inner circles of the Axis Powers. It is more important to history to paint the victor in the struggle than the aggressor and the defeated.

The Japanese were at war with China. Supposedly the USA imposed an oil embargo on Japan. Either way, the attack on Pearl Harbor was a second front for Japan. It wasn't really a planned attack at the beginning of the Japanese - Chinese war. Japan would seek to disable the USA military fleet until it had a chance to take over the Dutch East Indies where there were oil fields.

I have to wonder if the freezing of Japanese assets and the oil embargo was due to the confidence Roosevelt began to realize with the first test completed on the doomsday weapon. Basically, no matter the chronology leading up the attack on Pearl Harbor, it was the USA that unleashed the wrath of Japan. That had to be a well contemplated change in status between the USA and Japan. The embargo, the bomb and the move by Japan toward the East Indies all resulted by a confidence that lay ahead.
