Question about operation barbarossa?

Question:


okay so i know hitlers troops were going to attack the soviets and japans troops were going to attack on the other side, since they were allies and meet eachother at Moscow.... but along the way, Japan made a surprise attack on U.S. what was the surprise attack called and how did this affect operation barbarossa?

Answer:


Geographically, this plan doesn't work. If they were going to meet each other in Moscow, and Japan attacked the US, that means the Japanese would have to conquer all of North America, cross the Atlantic, conquer all of Europe, bypass Germany and then meet in Moscow.

The attack on the US was not co-ordinated with Barbarossa. Barbarossa started 22 June 1941, months before Pearl.
