stay out of the war
Japan has been planning the capture of Southeast Asian resources, and the control of the Philippines, which are a territory of the United States. Japan knew that if they attacked the Philippines, the United States would retaliate. To prevent this, they planned the attack on Pearl Harbor, an American military base in Oahu, Hawaii. A large part of American military resources in the Pacific came from this foothold. They assumed that if they attacked Pearl Harbor, the Americans would try to avoid a war with Japan with their resources gone, and they were right (Events Leading to the Attack on Pearl Harbor).
Without your naval warships defending, the Japanese are able to establish control over many islands in the Pacific. Because the U.S.A. did not defend Midway Atoll, the Japanese were able to capture Hawaii (Battle of Midway). They establish their dream of a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere, in which Japan would head a group of Southeast Asian countries. These countries would then provide Japan with resources (such as oil to counter the American oil embargo) to “keep Japan a modern power (Greater East Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere). ” However, despite Japanese superiority in the Pacific, inhabitants of nations under Japanese rule realize that their governments are largely puppets, with Japan making all the large decisions and “Japanizing” their local cultures (Gordon). As a result, after the end of the war with Japan, many Japanese holdings in the Pacific become independent, including Hawaii, which later becomes an independent nation.
In Europe, without the help of the United States, it takes a very long time for the Allies to push into Western Germany (Allied Advance from Paris to the Rhine). With this extra time, Soviet forces are able to capture a very large portion of Eastern Germany. Without an active wartime economy, the economy of the United States remained in shambles from the effects of the Great Depression (The American Homefront). The Soviet Union emerges as the sole undamaged economy after the war. Unfortunately, due to health problems unrelated to your choices, you die from a cerebral hemorrhage before the war’s end.
