How long did the Japanese plan the attack on Pearl Harbor 1941?

the pearl harbor attacks occurred all throughout 1941, but even before that, it started after japan invaded Manchuria.


Why were so many ships in pearl harbor?

The origins of the tension between the US and Japan, which ultimately led to the attack on Pearl Harbor, dates back to the early part of the 20th Century. In summary: In response to Japan's declaration of war on China, which occurred in 1937, and then in 1940, further advancing their troops into northern Indo-China, the US demanded that Japan withdraw from China. Japan refused the demands of the US. In July, 1941 after Japan had refused to withdraw from China, the US, (who supplied Japan with approximately 80% its oil resources, and many of the country's other resources) imposed a complete oil embargo on Japan. This decision, and event is what triggered Japan to attack Pearl Harbor. The reason Pearl Harbor was chosen, as point of target, was, in May of 1940, the US Navy had moved its US Fleet headquarters from San Pedro, California, to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Ironically, the move was a planned one on President Roosevelt's part, to counter Japan's increasing maneuvers and presence in the South Pacific. This decision, and the United States' under estimation of the ability of Japan's military to successfully attack the Navy's fleet at Pearl Harbor, was critical to Japan's successful plan and attack.


Who ordered the attack on Pearl Harbor?

AnswerI believe Japan's greatest naval strategist, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, helped plan the attack on Pearl Harbor, but also argued that the U.S. fleet in Hawaii was "a dagger pointed at our throat" and must be destroyed.

Why did Japan attack pearl harbor knowing it would mean war with the US?

Part of the Japanese plan was to damage or sink America's Pacific aircraft carrier fleet, but all those ships were away from the harbor during the attack. Had the carriers been destroyed, the U.S. would have been next to powerless in the Pacific. Another reason, the US cut oil imports to Japan to save up for the European war effort.
