I love propaganda like this that implies fighting the Naahzees was somehow American
If Americans had been told the truth they would have stayed home or even sided with Germany

the power of media
Strange how the proprietor of the "Daily Mail" way before WWII was pro-Hitler.
Lord Rothermere soon had to change his tune in 1939.
There's an extremely good reason why it's known as the "Daily FAIL" these days. Just ask Anna Soubry MP.
She's a Conservative , by the way.
The impotence of the media.
@Chloe
How were we lied to? And we wanted to stay out. Imperial Japan just decided to attack us ten Grand stupidly declared war on us as allies of Japan.
I'm going to guess that the answer is one of:
* The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was actually provoked, by some secret military action that nobody heard of because it was secret.
* The attack on Pearl Harbor never happened.
* The attack on Pearl Harbor was a false flag.
Unfortunately, in the time leading up to Pearl Harbor, a lot of Americans and American organizations supported Hitler and quite vocally too.
And today, the US has taken the step and embraced fascism! Not to mention the disgusting Kim Jung-Trump "adoration" lavished onto him yesterday. Dictator in spe!
@Meeeh
The majority of the American people have NOT embraced Fascism and have been working tirelessly to get his....and those like him....out of power. We're also working on the Nov. 2018 Mid-Terms....our big chance to kick as many GOPer tails out of Congress as possible. Seeing the recent elections in Red-States like Virginia and Alabama, it's a very plausible outcome. Virginia's turning BLUE! Also; New Jersey got some Blue-State blood in charge now, too!
@ pyro
Actually the US Navy blockaded Japanese merchant ships, froze Japanese assets, and hit them with trade embargos. Not an attack, but not nothing. OP probably barely even knows what Pearl Harbor is beyond something to be vaguely angry at foreigners in general over and thinks America went to war because Team America: Social Justice World Police had to save the Jews and free black slaves or something but secretly Jews started the war with anti-white pogroms that were carried out in secrecy somehow and blacks were happy in slavery.
They're not big on history or reality.

Of course, that only happened because the Japanese has been waging a near genocidal war against the Chinese since 1936 for the sake of material exploitation. Besides, Imperial Japan had always planned on incorporating the greater Pacific area into its "greater East-Asian Co-Prosperity Sphere", so they would have come into conflict regardless.
I don't mean to imply that my nation is in any way free from faults, but Imperial Japan is not sympathetic.
@ Insult to Rocks
While I did want to highlight that neutrality at the time didn't exactly mean non-interference I wasn't trying to say the Japanese were justified or sympathetic, just that some information gets glossed over. Especially by those with an agenda. Generally speaking Imperial anything is kind of morally dubious by default and the Japanese weren't exactly hospitable to prisoners of war or civilians in areas they occupied. The practice of forcing women into sexual servitude for officers comes to mind. Just throwing some trivia out there.
What's with the misspelling of "Nazi" with this guy? Was he asleep in Social Studies class or did he somehow confuse goose-stepping, swastika-loving, genocidal Fascists with a dice-based game beloved by grandmas everywhere?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
