Best Answer

The Japanese needed to acquire sources of raw materials in southeast Asia and knew that doing so by force would involve the US in military action. So they struck first, with the first blow landing at Pearl Harbor, with attacks on Singapore, Wake Island, and the Philippines following within hours.
