Japan wanted to bomb pearl harbor for many reasons. For one, they wanted to show that they were calling for war. Such an act of violence was bound to make America mad and respond with violence. Also, most of America's Naval fleet was stationed there, so they figures if they bombed it they could weaken America's military and combat effectiveness(?)
