Why Japan attacked the US in World War 2?
Very wrong first answer: depends what time period your talking
about like 1978 or 1367.
Who ever wrote this are you serious? the US didn't even exist in
1367, and Japan doesn't have a military after world war 2.
Japan did not want a war with the US. Japan had over multiple
occasions tried to diplomatically solve its differences with the
US, but the US did not give an audience. Instead, the US created a
blockade cutting off raw materials such as steel and oil from
reaching Japan. Japan only had supplies for 6 months of production.
the modernized Japan was dependent on its industry. without
industry Japanese people had no jobs. If the industry shut down,
then their economy would crash with no prospect of recovering.
Basically the country of Japan would cease to exist as it did
then.
Japan had two options. One was to abide by the blockade and
cease to exist. The other was to somehow break through the blockade
to continue to exist.
Japan attacked the US to break the blockade. Japan decided to
exist.
