FAIR??? Their ambassadors were in the middle of assuring the U.S. that they had no interest in expanding into the Pacific. Japan had already invaded many of the islands closer to Japan and there was some concern that they might want to establish their strength in the middle of the Pacific. Hawaii was a perfect place to control all shipping in the area and they figured that the U.S. was too busy with Europe to be able to defend Hawaii. No, their attack was cowardly and deceitful.
Nothing is ever fair in love and war.Of course not. The Japanese 'sneak' attack on Pearl Harbor was anything but fair. But war is never 'fair.'
To my best knowledge: No! I have never heard this. It was an entirely Japanese operation. I watched a show today that stated Hitler did know in advance about the attack on Pearl Harbour. In fact he made a speech that was given deliberately a few hours after the attack to the Nazi Party, just so it could be heard by the US and Japan. In his speech Hitler declared war on the US, the first time he declared war on a country he had not yet invaded.
US Citizens felt that they had been decieved, by being attacked at Pearl Harbor (even though most US citizens didn't even know where Pearl Harbor was, OR even ever heard of it before). For civilians, being attacked by "surprise" is considered "dirty fighting", "cheating", or "not fighting fair." So, these elements contributed to people's attitudes. However, MOST "MILITARY MEN" knew that "Surprise" is one of the key ELEMENTS of the "Rules of War!" Translation: In warfare, "Surprise" is not only accepted, it is considered EXCELLENT TACTICS! True, the political ultimatum was "stalled" (some historians are debating whether or not that was intentional or not), and arrived after the attack, when it should have been reversed (ultimatum recieved, then denied, then the attack, NOT in reverse order). But that's politics for ya!
No! Well to a certain extent. The Japanese did attack Pearl Harbour and many armed military members did die during the attack but they didn't kill any off your citizens, at least not a whole lot. But killing 256,000 innocent people and injuring countless more is a little harsh! besides the US is the only country to use a Nuclear Bomb against civilians! Think about it!
That was pretty much it. Although everybody recognised the fascist regimes for the evil that they were, and some people did want to fight against them, the overwhelming mood of the country was one of isolationism. Pearly Harbor made people mad and made them realize that there was no safety in isolationist policies. Michael Montagne To be fair, while Pearl Harbor could be argued as the trigger point for U.S. entry, the U.S. likely would have remained neutral in the European war if Germany hadn't declared war immediately afterwards, and the fact that President Roosevelt's Lend-Lease program did put in the U.S. in the Allied powers favor.

I think its fair to say the US was the innocent party in Pearl Harbor............. I am not sure the US can be said to have made WW2 start either in the Pacific or Europe
Bill of attainder*It is a document that states that a person or group of people are found guilty of a crime without a fair trial. A good example of this, was during World War II when the Japanese-Americans were being sent to concentration camps(here in the US) for "acts of terrorism" because we were bombed in Pearl Harbor by Japan.See Korematsu v. United States

Kino's solution to selling the pearl at a fair price was to travel to the city and seek a buyer who would pay him what the pearl was worth. He believed that by going directly to the buyers, he could negotiate a fair deal without being taken advantage of by middlemen.

Certainly they did. They became allies in the United Nations and they have fair trade with each other. Think about how many Japanese and German cars we American buy from them. I would say very few people in this nation harbor any grievances toward the Germans and Japanese. If any thing thy harbor grievances against the Muslim people who killed people in the World Trade Towers.

By virtue of the fact that Japanese food is inherently Japanese, it would be fair to say that the people of Japan eat the most Japanese food.
