The Hull note was the de facto ultimatum delivered to Japan by the United
States on November 26th, 1941. It is formally called "Out line of proposed
Basis for Agreement Between The United States and Japan".
To avoid a hopeless war, Japan struggled to achieve peace with the U.S.
However, the U.S. selected the hardest note among some choices, which Japan
would have never accepted. This note inevitably led Japan to start the war.
As a result, the U.S. managed to get involved in World War II without public
opposition or breaking her Neutrality Act.
