IIRC, 1940 and it was one reason that Japan turned south for resources. The Imperial Army still wanted to go north and fight the soviets for the resources in Siberia but the Imperial Navy was able to convince the Cabinet that it would be easier to go south; after all, America was divided and the UK, the Dutch and France were tied up in Europe.
