Best Answer

The US sold oil to Japan (not for the prevention of protecting the Dutch East Indies). However the US placed an oil embargo on Japan when they invaded Manchuria and killed 100,000 Chinese civilians. This gave the military leaders of Japan the idea to wipe out the US Naval fleet so they could go after the Dutch East Indies. The attack led to the US entering World War 2.
