Was the attack on pearl harbor a compromise and conflict?
I'm not siding with anyone here. But it was pretty messed up that Japan bombed us. Then again you have to think why did they bomb us? Well because we banned exports to Japan which is needed to survive, Japan practically didn't have any resources. The fact that we banned exports to Japan is a conflict (it is for Japan). Not only was that a conflict but, the attack by Japan was cruel and made the conflict worser. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a huge conflict for America. The conflict was still going on while they were having war, for both Japan and America. So they have their shares of conflicts. However, they made two compromise. They decided to go to war and settle it. And the second compromise was when Japan surrendered and signed the peace treaty.

What was the US strategy of fighting against the japanning the pacific?
In World War II, the American strategy was, primarily, "Europe First". Most of the troops, and the majority of the aircraft, were devoted to winning the war against Germany. Japan, Roosevelt thought, could be left to simmer on its own. However, there were substantial Navy forces that weren't especially required for the European conflict, and so Navy forces were used in the Pacific. Following the victory in the Battle of Midway (June 1942) the Japanese were on the defensive; after losing four aircraft carriers, they really didn't have much offensive capability. The primary strategy there was "island hopping"; destroy and occupy only the important islands (the ones with airfields) and bypassing and isolating the more lightly-fortified islands.
Why did Japan feel impelled to instigate military conflict with the US in 1941?
To prevent the US (by eliminating the Battleship Fleet based at Pearl Harbor) from interferring with their plans of conquest.
