Although Rainbow Five incorporated the final version of War Plan Orange, its basic assumption was the "Germany first" strategy, that is, that in the event of war with both Germany and Japan, the Allies would concentrate their efforts on defeating Germany first, as the more dangerous of the two. YOU HAVE TO GET YOUR PRIORITIES RIGHT In 1937 the British Army riding school at Weeden had a budget of £20,000 (about $1 million in 1994 dollars) for 38 students, more than £526 (about $26,000 in 1994 dollars) per pupil, while the Tank Corps School, with 550 students, had to make do with £46,000, or about £83 (about $4,100 in 1994 dollars) per pupil.
The United States gives notice of its intention to terminate its commercial treaty of 1911 with Japan, which granted the latter "most-favored nation" status. This was intended to hurt Japan economically and force the Japa nese to cease their attempts to conquer China. August 23, 1939. Germany signs a nonaggression treaty with the So viet Union. A secret clause allows both nations to partition Poland. This treaty (even without their knowing of the secret clauses) came as a shock to everyone (especially the Communists), as Germany had been rabidly anti-Communist (and thus anti-Soviet Union) up to this point, while the Soviets had been enthusiastically anti-Nazi.
But this was not a rational situation, and the Japanese decided on war. July 1941. America occupies Iceland, a Danish possession heretofore occupied by British troops. This was to assist the British, by freeing the British garrison for other duties, and to put American forces one step closer to a war footing. August 1941. British and Soviet troops invade Iran to overthrow a pro-Nazi government. The Iranians were seeking aid from the Germans not so much because they were keen on fascism, but because they wanted to get Great Britain out of the Persian Gulf.
