    The rise of Japanese power in the Far East including the invasion of Manchuria in 1931 and China in 1937 were major events that directly threatened the United States and its influence/relationship to Asia. These invasions lead to sanctions and embargoes of oil and raw materials by the United States and other Western powers, in an effort to stem the tide of a militant and highly industrialized Japan taking control of the Pacific Rim. Needing raw materials to realize its goals at hegemony, Japan then invaded the Dutch East Indies and attacked Pearl Harbor.
