Abstract
The article focuses on the involvement of Germany in the Japanese-American War in 1941. It offers insights on the intricacies with regards to the relationship between the country and Japan during World War II. It cites the move of pro-German Foreign Minister Matsuoka Yosuke, who was dismissed as a result of his opposition to the Washington talks in July 1941, to warn Japan not to go to war with the U.S. With his hopes to defeat the Soviet Union alone, he refrained from pressing Japan for assistance against the country. It notes that Yosuke demand that the Tokyo government should concentrate all forces against the Anglo-Saxon powers.
