The Congress and FDR placed and oil embargo against the Japanese because of the murdering they had done and were still doing in Manchuria and other places. So no American place or oil company could sell to Japan.

Pearl harbor was home to the U.S. Pacific fleet. It was the only fleet powerful enough to interfere with Japan's offensive into SouthEast Asia and the Pacific. They needed to damage/destroy it to such an extent that they would be able to safely take all of their objectives before the U.S. had recovered.


When did The US come out of World War 2?

If you are asking when the US entered WW2, it was after the Empire of Japan suddenly and deliberately attacked the United States naval base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii, completely destroying multiple warships, most of which are in the battleship class. Japan aattacked because the United States controlled the Philipines and the rich oil fields there. After some involvement in China, the US boycotted sales of oil to Japan. Japan could not survive without the oil, so they had to attack the US and gain access to the Philipines. They decided to attack the heart of our naval empire: Pearl Harbor.

Why did the US increase its warships stationed in pearl harbor?

Roosevelt was trying to get the Japanese to leave China. By stationing our fleet in Pearl Harbor he was threatening the Japanese. Roosevelt hoped the Japanese would recognize the threat (they did) and along with our restrictions of sales to Iron and scrap steel, plus oil, they would be willing to leave China. The Japanese felt if they could destroy our battleships (considered the main warship of any navy) we would be unable to influence the Japanese because we would no longer have any way of reaching Japan. The Japanese were strongly motivated by the large anti-war movement in America at that time. They felt by destroying our fleet the Anti-war movement would take control of the nation and Japan would be free to do what they wanted in China.
