In the US, demonstrations of sailors without jobs make headlines in the press. The merchant navy is competing in South America in such a way, that more and more ships are being mothballed. Now trade with Europe and the Far East is almost non existant, due to the oil embargo and the war zones, sailors demand compensation.
Slowly, Congress realises that the hassle about the Bataafse Petroleum is drawing it's attention away from the needs of the US citizens and workers. A bill is proposed to allow Merchant shipping to all countries of the world. This effectively means that the United States refutes naval war zones. The President sees the opportunities this bill gives and decides to support it.
Some very good music was made during the war. This one I really like: Concerto For Clarinet (Parts 1 & 2) - Artie Shaw

Tokyo reacts furious! This cannot be! First the US government makes an illegal trade agreement possible between the British imperialists and the Dutch and now the announcement that the US merchant ships can enter ports at war with goods. Surely the oil embargo must be lifted? But no, the President doesn't lift that embargo! That's an outrage. Germany and Italy decide to boycot any US products for as long as the oil embargo against Japan is in place. One chit moved from the Japanese entry to the tension pool.
There are now 10 chits in both entry, 6 chits in the Ge/It and 3 in the Japan tension pools.

French Sudan and Anglo Egyptian Sudan are conquered by Italy. The Netherlands is conquered by Germany, The Dutch East Indies are conquered by Japan and Italian Somaliland is conquered by the Commonwealth. The BB Gouden Leeuw is taken by Germany, while another Dutch cruiser escapes and a second one is destroyed on the shipyards.
Here is the national anthem of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, which was adopted at independence in 1956, but which was already in use during the war as the anthem of the Sudanese defense force:

French Sudan, the Dutch East Indies and Italian Somaliland didn't have national anthems during the war.
Estonia is liberated by Germany. Iraq is liberated by Italy. Germany returns all territory to Iraq. This means that Iraqi forces will now cooperate with both Italy and Germany, making Bagdad a secondary supply source for both nations. This makes things with supply a little bit better in Iraq...
