If you want something more "academic", try "The Religion of Technology: The Divinity of Man and the Spirit of Invention" By David F. Noble. Maybe it can bring you some "light" about the DAAARK Ages.
But that doesn't happen. That's not how resources work. Do you think "oil" is just a big tank in the ground with a needle that goes from F to E? None of our resources work anything like that. We will never be surprised when raw materials run out -- we will know about it for 50 or 100 years before it happens. That's plenty of time to plan for it, and the chance of all of our resources running out at the same time is just slightly lower than the chance of Alien Warlords coming and raping our pets.
U.S. ENTRY INTO THE WAR
Since 1940 the United States had allowed the covert operation in China of the American Volunteer Group, or “Chennault’s Flying Tigers,” to assist the Chinese war effort. The Flying Tigers destroyed an estimated 115 Japanese aircraft, sunk numerous Japanese ships, and participated in the Burma land campaign. U.S. president Franklin D. Roosevelt cut exports of oil and scrap iron to Japan in 1941. Japan planned and executed a strike on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, on Sunday, December 7, 1941, to cripple the U.S. Pacific fleet and consolidate oil fields in Southeast Asia. The attack on Pearl Harbor achieved military surprise and severely damaged the U.S. navy, and it remains the largest military attack on U.S. soil.
Following the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, Hitler declared war on the United States on December 11, 1941, in the hope that Japan would assist Germany by attacking the Soviet Union (it did not). Pearl Harbor, in conjunction with Hitler’s declaration of war, gave Roosevelt the domestic support he needed to join the war in Europe and Asia without meaningful opposition from Congress. Many historians consider this an important turning point of the war in Europe, marking the formation of a grand alliance of powerful nations (the United Kingdom, the United States, and the Soviet Union) against Germany.
Oh, come now. Every country should have a national day honoring hookers, booze and plagiarism. All the cook ~~kids~~ countries are doing, I'm quite sure.
