In 1941, japan’s desire for expansion in the pacific led to war with a) germany. b) italy. c) the united states. d) the soviet union.

The correct answer is C.

In 1941, as part of their territorial expansions in the Pacific, the Japanese Empire attacked the US in Pearl Harbor (Hawaii) aiming to destroy the US fleet and to impede that it could become an obstacle to their expansion operations in Southeast Asia.

This attack led to the direct intervention of the US in WWII, in the side of the allies against the Axis powers (Germany, Italy and Japan), including the involvement of the US in the Pacific Theatre against Japan.

the american rail road was the most influential and useful transportation system developed in the 1800's with steam locomotives and in the very late 1800's and early 1900's diesel electric locomotives being used to transport goods and people around the newly expanded united states!
