The analysis delves into Japan's foreign policy during the interbellum, particularly its mid-1930s withdrawal from naval arms control, which instigated a costly arms race with the United States. This decision dismantled the regulatory framework governing Pacific relations, escalating tensions that eventually led to the attack on Pearl Harbor. Despite a stable international environment and U.S. efforts for accommodation, Japan's pursuit of unrestricted naval expansion resulted in a precarious overbalancing against the U.S., setting the stage for conflict in the Pacific War.
