Why would Japan expect America to not fight back on the bombing of Pearl Harbor?

Japan fully expected that the US would fight back after Pearl Harbor was bombed. The purpose of the bombing was to destroy the US Pacific Fleet and thus make the US unable to apply significant military force in the Pacific while Japan conquered the territories it needed. Some in Japan thought the US could then be brought to peace talks and a treaty. Others understood that Japan having the upper hand in the Western Pacific would probably only be a temporary situation.


Did America use the atomic bomb to get back at japan for bombing pearl harbor?

No, there was only one reason that America used the atomic bomb. To cause Japan to surrender. The only other way to get Japan to surrender was to invade the country with infantry, and having seen how stubborn the Japanese fighters were at the little islands they defended in the Pacific, Americans knew that the loss of life on both sides would be horrific. To save American fighting men's lives, they decided to drop the bomb. If Japan had surrendered immediately, America would not have dropped the second bomb.


Where exactly did Pearl Harbor take place?
