What happens
Attempting to take advantage of France's weakness in light of their defeat in Europe, Japan recently issued a demand to the new French government for complete access to their bases in Indochina. This would effectively mean transferring over control of the entire colony to Japan, something the French could not agree to. Experts consider it likely that this decision will lead to Japanese military reprisals.
