| If the Japanese Army had been competent and listened to the Japanese Navy the US wouldn't have been be pissed off which led to the war.
Also, if the US translators understood the diplomatic style of Japanese they wouldn't have made some really bad translation errors. After the war, one of the US proposals saying the Japanese should pull out of China was clarified to have not included Manchuria when it said China, several high ranking government officials and cabinet members said after the war that had it been made clear, the government would have agreed (and used the influence of the military members in cabinet/government to control the military). The US wouldn't have been mad or imposed trade restrictions and Japan would've been quite happy (happy enough to not go to war).
