Take the following as truth: Japan hoped that war in Europe would divert the Soviet Union from interference in East Asia, giving Japan a free hand both in China and, through its alliance with Germany, in French Indochina after the defeat of France.
Then the following statement: "Japan had important sources within the Soviet Union that all pointed to the fact that a war in Europe would be more important to them than controlling East Asia." is true, false, or inconclusive?
