Best Answer

Negotiations between Japan's representatives and President Roosevelt over the oil embargo went on a long time. The Japanese refused to leave Manchuria and they would not repent of their murdering. The embargo remained.

While Roosevelt was in a negotiating session with the men from Japan the Japanese military bombed the US Naval Fleet in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. The Emperor Hirohito was determined to go after other sources of oil, namely in the Dutch East Indies, and chose to allow his Imperial Navy to destroy the US Naval Fleet. They had hoped stopping the US Fleet would prevent them from coming after the Japanese during their invasion of the Dutch East Indies.
