The US had been taken surprise when the attacks on Pearl Harbor because previously the Japanese had tries to make peace with the United States but had not officially made peace with America so the Japanese attacked us in the early morning on a Sunday when most troops on guard had off on Sunday. America was attacked by Japan because the Emperor saw America as a nation of pleasure lovers and thought if they attacked the US that they would beg for a peace treaty but as we know now, that didn't work.
