Yes, until they lost the war. After the war, they realized that starting a war with the United States was a bad idea.
Pearl Harbor is a military base in Hawaii. Technically speaking, Pearl Harbor (as in the base) isn't celebrated but its history is remembered, read on to find out why. In a way Pearl Harbor's history is celebrated but not in a happy way. At the beginning of World War 2 (at least when the US entered) Pearl Harbor was attacked by Japan. If you noticed, the US flag is at half mast on December 7th. This is because that is the day the attack occured. We sadly remember the attack. We do not "celebrate" as we do mourn.
Japan bombing Pearl Harbor
The Japanese Army was happy with the various attacks on the British, Dutch & Americans (including the Pearl Harbor attack). The Japanese Army was the main force behind the idea of going to war with Britain & the US.
1)The failure to make a formal declaration of war .
Adolf Hitler was very happy that the Japanese had attacked Pearl Harbor (and other places) that brought Japan into war with the British, Dutch & Americans. He had encouraged this action for about a year. Hitler thought it would take pressure off Germany. The reality was that it doomed Hitler, Mussolini & Japan. The military & economic power of the United States was building and by late 1943 was being felt in Europe & Asia.
This depends on your point of view and the politics of the day. At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour, America had various treaties with Great Britain as allies. Great Britain had a treaty with Japan, and Germany had a treaty with America (America was not happy with this treaty when the Nazis took over Germany). But America had no military treaty with Japan but they were trading together. Obviously, America's treaty with Britain was still valid but America could not get involved in the war for a number of valid reasons. America had no official political argument with Nazi Germany and although the U.S. made her position against Germany's actions clear, the U.S. could not get involved at that time. Once the attack started, the U.S. was too busy (and quite rightly so) trying to sort out the situation and get help to her citizens to be able to define political friends and enemies. Once the situation had 'crystallised' and the various politicians (from all sides) could draw breath , the 'Allies' during WWII were known as follows: Great Britain (this included her former colonies and dominions such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, B.W.I. South Africa, India and so on and on and on...) France, Russia and The United States of America. Now these were the main 'Allies' as one hears about in movies and books and so on. Of course prior to 1941, 'The Allies' did not include U.S.A. nor Russia. France was actually split for political and occupation reasons and Italy was with Germany until changing sides to the 'Allies' around '43. Germany and Japan did not have any treaty or agreement until after 1941. From 1939 to 1943 Germany, Vichy France (the half of France that was occupied) and Italy were known by history as the Axis Powers. Japan later officially joined them although there was an 'understanding' prior to this time. Politics is a very difficult thing sometimes as a country must sometimes be friends with a former enemy and enemies with a former friends. Take a look back at Britain/America, Britain/Japan, America/Japan, Britain/China. Britain as the former superpower has made friends of enemies and enemies of friends many times over. America has now taken over the role of the world's policeman and it is not an easy job. We should all really look at our various histories and current situations.
Iron/steel for bombs, artillery shells; oil to run Japan's war machines (airplanes, tanks, warships), copper & lead for bullets. Anything that would further Japan's conquests were stopped.
Pearl Harbor attackPearl Harbor (in Hawaii), the major US naval base in the Pacific Ocean, was attacked by carrier-based bombers and torpedo planes of the Japanese Navy on December 7, 1941. The Japanese achieved complete surprise over the Americans and were able to attack American ships at their docks and planes on their runways. Eight American battleships were anchored in the harbor, all of which were destroyed or badly damaged. Around 2400 Americans were killed in action. The one bright spot for the Americans was that their own aircraft carriers were not in the harbor that day and were able to sink four of the Japanese carriers at the Battle of Midway six months later. (not the best answer)->The Japanese were not happy about this so they raced to there military and went to the hiroshima beach to later discover they will lose the war

Countries in Western Europe were very happy that the United States was attacked by Germany's ally, Japan, because it meant that the industrial and military might of the United States would finally be brought to bear against their conqueror, Adolph Hitler. Hitler himself I think had long realized that United States involvement in the war was inevitable, and he welcomed it.
