Germany and Japan had a pact as allies prior to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. People tend to forget that while Germany was taking over Europe, Japan had been carrying out its own war througout Asia at the same time. The basic idea was that Germany would take control of Europe and the West, while Japan would take control of Asia. The main reason for Japan's attack on the U.S. was to stop the U.S. from causing Japan problems in Asia.
