Seriously you folks need to buff up on your history. The US was concerned about the Japanese acquiring defenseless territories in the Far East. The Japanese “movement” was eerily similar to Germany’s take over of much of Europe. Plus there were other issues rumbling (the US snubbed Japan - yellow racism - and Japan’s anger had been mounting for years). When the US moved their Navy to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, Japan was extremely concerned the US was closing in on them, although they were 4,000 miles away. So Japan planned the secret attack on Pearl Harbor so the US wouldn’t attack them first. Most US navy ships and 300+ US planes were decimated.
