It's "splitting hairs" to correctly point out that the Second World War started in September 1939? Please refer us to an historic text that sets the start of the Second World War in 1937 with the Japanese invasion of China. Why not include the Spanish Civil War or any other conflict of the mid to late 1930s?
As for the Brits being late to the party, the Brits, and for that matter, the Canadians, were fighting Japan in late 1941 while the United States were quietly sitting on the sidelines. The Canadian and British armies were fighting the Japanese at Hong Kong while the first wave was heading towards Pearl Harbour.
