Before Pearl Harbor Japan relations with the US were good. In World War One, they were actually an ally of the US. They were part of the group called the Allies. Also, Japan gave the US a peace medal a VERY short time before the Pearl Harbor bombings. However, the peace medal was clearly an act of deceitfulness, designed to catch the US off guard. Later, at the end of World War Two, we strapped the peace medal to the atomic bomb and dropped it right on Hiroshima.
i believe they were both axis because japan bombed the us
They were at war since Dec. 8, 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
Japan, Dec 7, 1941 (state of war existed); Dec 8, 1941 US declaration of war against Japan; Germany declared war on US December 11, 1941.
??? What do you THINK the relationship would be? Japan had just attacked a terretory of the United States, and killed U.S. citizens. At that point, the U.S. military was prepared to destroy Japan as an enemy. After Pearl Harbor, it was not good to be Japanese.

The US did not declare war on Germany in 1941, Germany declared war on the US as a measure of solidarity with Japan after their attack on Pearl Harbor and the Philippines.
During the second World War the axis powers were Germany, Italy and (from December 1941) Japan.
Isolationism
Japan attacked the US without Germany even knowing about it. Germany declared war on the US on December 11, 1941. Japan probably didn't even know about that until it happened. Hitler had invaded Russia in 1941 and no doubt was hoping Japan would open a second front on the Russians as a favor for him declaring war on America.
