Japan was attacking many of its neighbors. In 1905, it occupied Korea and Taiwan.
In the early 1930's, it began a very nasty campaign in China.
In 1937, the Japanese army faked an attack by Chinese troops in N.E. China - Manchuria (Mukden, Manchukuo) and further dominated China.
Word of the atrocities committed by Japan got out, and the U.S> government decided it had to stop Japan. It stopped selling all oil, rubber, etc. to Japan thinking that this would stop Japan from being able to make war.

The Japanese people saw American's as a people who would not be able to get it together if they were attacked. Historically, they were proven wrong!

Why was it so bad for the Japanese when the US stopped trade with them?
The Japanese were devestatingly dependent on trade for strategic resources as the mainland really has very little, these resources were essential for waging war. The Japanese invasion on Manchuria and China were in large part to sequre additional strategic resources. The Japanese had imperialistic aggressive intentions to set up a Japanese empire in Asia and this needs oil. When the united states stopped trading oil with the Japanese in their mind they had no choice but to effectively immediately open hostilities to seize oil fields in Indonesia along with various other resources. In short the Japanese needed resources for their economy to function, when the US stopped trading with them their economy could not survive due to shortage in strategic resources like steel and oil
