Question

The United States responded to Japanese imperialism in the 1930s by:

O A. blockading Japanese ports to prevent any Japanese warships
from leaving.
B. refusing to supply Japan with oil until it ended its expansionist
policies.
C. urging Japan to redirect its imperialist efforts toward Africa
instead of Asia.
O D. sending U.S. military forces to protect Japan's neighbors in East
Asia.

Answer 1

B. refusing to supply Japan with oil until it ended its expansionist

policies.

Step-by-step explanation:

The United States embargoed all oil exports to Japan in hopes that Japan would stop expanding. Instead, it heightened tensions between the nations and forced Japan to continue to invade to reacquire the lost resource source. The strained relations would explode in the Attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
