This study identifies the indicators of Japanese intent available preceding their attack, analyzes the preparedness of the Allies, and draws parallels to the contemporary world. China's ambitions are dismantling the bedrock of the democratic world order, threatening the long-standing peace among major powers. The implications of the U.S. and its Allies not achieving information advantage, being unable to interpret conflict indicators, and not having a coordinated and integrated coalition response are stark. Whether war with China is inevitable or not, the U.S. and its Allies must understand that a lack of a coordinated and immediate response would likely cause it to concede the great power competition to China. While deterrence through a credible coalition remains the priority, the U.S. and its Allies need to be in a “Fight Tonight” mindset.Key lessons from the WWII Indo-Pacific theater remain relevant today and are crucial to the U.S. and its Allies.
