Why did the us begin a trade embargo against japan?

wait which year because if it was when we the industrial revolution then because we wanted trade with them if 1940 well prolly because war but if it was the industrial revolution the time was 1904 i think and we wanted to get that sweet trade with them so we sent a massive fleet to show power and to hopefully force trade which worked.

hi did u tell us this and this is okay in the

the correct answer option is: weapons.

explanation:

tensions rose as the two opposing superpowers competed for 'weapons'.

referring to the cold war (1945-1991), the two superpowers, usa and ussr, experienced a phase of struggle and conflict with each other. these two superpowers considered each other as a threat to their survival and thus opted for policies to strengthen their positions.

the two superpowers never went to war with each other directly but competed for weapons to preserve their positions.
