The US, due to its imperialist tendencies, had possession of the Philippines, which Japan wanted to occupy due to its strategic position, raw materials, and its own imperialist tendencies. Knowing that they would be forced to fight the United States if they invaded the Philippines, the Japanese made the executive decision to severely cripple the US Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor before launching an invasion of the Philippines. This attack on December 7, 1941, galvanized the American populace under Roosevelt to enter World War II against the Japanese. In response, Hitler and Mussolini declared war against the United States, drawing the US into the European front as well.

How did the attack on Pearl Harbor relate to the Spanish American war?
It didn't. The Spanish American War was almost half a century before World War II and had nothing whatsoever to do with Hawaii. Michael Montagne In the recent book "Flyboys" (highly recommended) the author makes some interesting connections between European/Western imperialism and the Japanese imperialism that led up to World War II and the attack on Pearl Harbor. During the Spanish-American War the US kicked the imperialist Spanish out of the Americas, but in some ways, replaced it with an American brand of imperialism. The Japanese believed they were exercising the same sort of power over their own backyard in Asia.
What was the Philippines in World War 2?
A Japanese's controlled part of the pacific.
