The United states started placing trade embargoes to halt Japan's plans for expansion in China. This did not work. The Sino-Japanese War (China vs. Japan) also hurt trade for the US with China. Another Reason is Japan join the Axis powers through the Tripartite Pact. Towards the end of 1941 Japan felt pressured with the fact that their oil stockpiles were running out. They needed the oil reserves in the East Indies (Including the American Protectorate, The Phillippines) So on December 7th, 1941 Japan attacked the United States in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Causing the US to enter World War II.
