When the Pacific war down began in December 1941 between United States and Japan, the clashes between the two countries already had a long time to have been initiated. The trade and disputes around the Japanese migration to the Americas already had a long process of maturation. The scene of these disputes had concentrated in Mexico; the interest of both powers by a series of raw materials as oil emanating in large quantities in the country, had been intense pressure on the Mexican Government. The stage of cooperation which had given rise to trade agreements and economic cooperation which included Japanese migration at the beginning of century was forgotten. The development of us and Japan as major powers was the main reason that eventually led to total war.
