Japanese Emperor Hirohito was only forty years old at the time of Pearl Harbor, and he had already been emperor for 15 years. He therefore was not a novice concerning Japanese options and had approved of the 1931 attack on China. Nevertheless, he had long been an advocate of diplomacy to end US-Japanese problems. Ultimately, he was convinced that an attack on the US was the proper method to solve these problems. He believed an attack on Pearl Harbor would force the US to withdraw its embargo and solve possible interference in East Asia.On December 1, 1941 it was he who had the ultimate authority to declare war and he signed a decree to begin the Pacific war vs the US.
