Did the U.S freeze Japanese assets and place an embargo trade against japan when they invaded Vietnam?

Question:




Answer:


Yes,the Japanese did invade but it was called French Indo-China. Vietnam (North and South) did not come into being until after WW2 and only after the French got kicked out.

Japan invade French Indo-China during WW2 when the US and Allies were already at war with Japan. WW2 in the Pacific theater began with the Japanese attack on the US naval base at Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The Japanese did this because the US placed a trade embargo on Japan for their invasion and occupation of China. The US was trying to negotiate a peaceful withdrawn of Japanese forces from China, but the Japan had other plans and wanted strike a crippling blow on the US so they could go on an invade other countries to take over rich mineral fields including oil fields.

Please read more about history besides what little they teach in school.
