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.
They were at war since Dec. 8, 1941 after the attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941.
Boycotts and embargos.
??? 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.
Since japan attacked Pearl Harbor in Hawiia in 1941 and the atomic bomb wasnt dropped in Japan till 1945, there were no effects of bombs in japan in 1941.
Japanese expansion into the Pacific.
Japan colonized us from 1941 to 1945.
i dont know i was wondering the same thing
Japan
On December 8, 1941, the United States Congress declared war on the Empire of Japan in response to that country's surprise attack on pearl harbor the prior day. It was formulated an hour after the Infamy speech of President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
An underlying cause of the war between the US and Japan from 1941 to 1945 was Japan's expansionist ambitions in Asia and the Pacific, driven by a desire for natural resources and territorial control. The US opposed Japanese aggression, particularly in China and Southeast Asia, and responded with economic sanctions and trade embargoes, notably cutting off oil exports to Japan. This escalating tension culminated in Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in December 1941, which prompted the US to enter the war.
Prior to December 7th 1941, the United Stares was not involved in the conflicts of WW2. Imperial Japan changed all this by attacking the US Naval base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
