There was no declaration before the attack on Pearl Harbor because the Japanese government believed a surprise attack would cripple the United States Pacific Fleet and prevent them from interfering with Japanese military expansion in the Asia-Pacific region. It was seen as a strategic move to gain an advantage in the early stages of the war.

What was the Pearl Harbor about?

Pearl Harbor is how we usually refer to the Japanese surprise attack on US military installations in Hawaii (Pearl Harbor) and elsewhere in the Pacific on 7-8 December 1941. This is the action that brought the US into World War 2. Because of poor coordination within the Japanese Foreign ministry, the Japanese failed to issue a declaration of war just before the attack failed. The declaration was issued after the attack. Thus the attack was considered a sneak attack and "cowardly" and enraged the US populace. also how japan owned America
