The government of the United Kingdom declared war on the Empire of Japan on 8 December 1941, following the Japanese attacks on British Malaya, Singapore, and Hong Kong on the previous day as well as in response to the bombing of the US fleet at Pearl Harbor.
90,332 British troops were casualties in the war against Japan, of which 29,968 died and 12,433 were held as prisoners of war.
It seems to me we also helped you as well!!!!
The Brits responded AFTER their colonies were attacked by surrendering. They surrendered to the Japanese without a fight. Big help indeed.
