Historians looking back at our time will note the consistent restraint and peaceful intentions of the West. They will note that

it was the democracies who refused to use the threat of their nuclear monopoly in the forties and early fifties for territorial or imperial gain. Had that nuclear monopoly been in the hands of the Communist world, the map of Europe—indeed, the world— would look very different today. And certainly they will note it was not the democracies that invaded Afghanistan [in 1979] or suppressed Polish Solidarity or used chemical and toxin warfare in Afghanistan and Southeast Asia....—President Ronald Reagan, speech to the British House of Commons, June 8, 1982 Which attitude about Cold War rivalries is expressed by President Ronald Reagan in this speech?

what actions did japan and germany take in pursuit of their goals that caused Britain, France, and then the United States to dec
bija089 [108]
Germany annexed Austria, then the Sudetenland, and then invaded Czechoslovakia. This made Germany disliked by the allied powers. Germany invaded Poland for Danzig and then that is what pushed France and Britain into war with Germany. Later, Japan reached a stalemate in China, so they expanded their sphere of influence into the pacific. Japan invaded British Malaysia and joined the axis and signed the tripartite pact with Germany and Italy leaving Japan at war with France and the U.K. Japan also bombed Pearl Harbour making the U.S declare war on Japan, Germany then declared war on the U.S, I am not sure why they did this even though they did not have to.
