Best Answer

The US had put an oil embargo on Japan for invading other nations especially China. They also intended to Invade the Dutch East Indies to get their oil. President Roosevelt was negotiating with the Japanese about lifting the oil embargo. They attacked prematurely without word from the Japanese delegates in Washington, DC. Japan in essence declared war on the United States.
