2. It was the Neutrality Act of 1937 that allowed for "cash and carry" sales of arms and war supplies. The initial Neutrality Act had been passed in 1935, but was only set to last for 6 months, unless it was reauthorized…so the Neutrality Act of 1936 was pretty much just the reauthorization of the 1935 law for an additional 14 months. It seems as if the 1936 law did alter 2 aspects of the previous law…it did not prohibit arms sales to countries in civil wars…such as Spain, and it did not cover civilian use items…such as oil or trucks.

   Also, there was one really really significant event that happened near the end of 1937 that Epic History completely left out, and I honestly cannot figure out why they would not even mention it…I am starting to worry that Epic History is selectively editing the events they report on. On December 12, 1937…at the very end of the Battle of Nanjing…Japanese air forces attacked attacked and destroyed the American gunboat USS Panay and 3 American oil tankers, killing 3 Americans and wounding another 48. The attack led to pretty loud calls for war with Japan from a significant minority of Americans, but the Japanese government almost instantly apologized for what they said had been an accidental attack, and offered to pay compensation for the damage and casualties…which basically brought a settlement to the affair and put the calls for war against Japan to rest. However, the event massively fanned the flames of hatred towards Japan and all Japanese people in the USA…and for all those reasons, Epic History really should have at least mentioned it.

   We pretty much know now that the attack on the USS Panay was deliberately launched by officers of the Japanese military who wanted Japan to go to war with the USA. They were part of the renegade military factions in Japan who were angered by US support of the Chinese, and wanted oped conflict with the USA so they could militarily put a stop to that support.
