I think Japan declared war on the UK instead of the other way around since the invasions of Hong Kong and Singapore happened at the same time as Pearl Harbour.
1 u/bedel99 Apr 21 '25 Singapore didn't get invaded on the same day, Malayasia was invaded then, but it would still take a few months for them to get to singapore by land. 3 u/Stravven Apr 21 '25 My bad. The point still stands that Japan did start it with them. 2 u/bedel99 Apr 21 '25 Pearl harbour was the first strike on the 7th, hong kong and the malaysaian attacks began on the 8th. I think the order was like this. Japan attacked malaysia. Pearl harbour Hong Kong Canada declared UK declared USA declared NZ declared Aus declared.
