well the whole reason for the bombing of pearl harbor was to trap the us navel ships in to pearl harbor. The japenese wanted to assult the us... but it would be hard with the ships returing fire.. so they bombed the ships.... and the americans needed a sort of payback.. so to show dominence they droped the two nukes over uroshima and nogosaki... which lead to the start of World War 2

They entered the war... because of the unprovoked bombing of their fleet which was stationed at Pearl Harbour. Japan intended the strike to prevent america interfering with their military operations in South-East Asia. Instead - it brought america to the forefront of the war.
