Yes its the start of the war same is true for germany.

And where was the embargo against britain when they attacked hong kong, or when the US colonized the phillepines? 

No, embargoes aren't a war. North Korea is heavily embargoed, but nobody is actively at war with them. I expect Russia had some embargoes placed on them after the Crimean incident, but that wasn't a war. Saying 'no we won't trade with you anymore' is VERY different to attacking someone. Attacking someone = war. Not trading with someone = well... simply not trading with someone, nothing more and nothing less.

And why would anyone want to embargo Britain or the US then? They were both so dominant that embargoing them would be more harmful to the one doing the embargoing than to them.

So youre saying because the US and UK were untouchable they were right in doing the same things like Japan did? 

Trade embargos are an act of agression, North Korea was sanctioned since 20 years. And look at them now, they have their own nuke. Did these sanctions made it better?
