In this first episode of our new miniseries, we focus on the first year of U.S. involvement in the Pacific Theater during World War II. The road to Pearl Harbor is marked by escalating tensions between the United States and Japan, beginning with Japan's invasion of China in 1937. Discover why diplomatic negotiations between the two nations failed to find common ground, and what the motivation was that ultimately caused the United States to enter the war. In this first miniseries episode, follow along as we discuss what linked the conflicts in Europe, Africa, and Asia, leading to America's active involvement in the global conflict forever known as World War II.
