1. If anything, Germany would not have wanted Japan to attack the United States; Germany wanted Japan to attack the SOVIET UNION (Russia); to relieve pressure on the German Army's Russian Front. 2. By all accounts, Germany was taken by surprise by the Japanese attack on the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. 3. Japan had it's own plans for the Pacific and Asia. Germany had it's own plans for Europe. If they both could "link-up" via the Suez Canal (Japan was moving towards India, Germany was fighting for control of the N. Africa); then other plans for world conquest could have been drawn up.

During the Yalta Conference in 1945 it was decided that Germany would divided into 4 zones. It was also during this time when plans to build the Berlin Wall were made. These plans set the Cold War preparations in motion.
Hitler wanted to control Europe. Japan wanted to control the Pacific. The feeling was that if the Allies were busy on two war fronts, they would be far weaker giving both Germany AND Japan a better chance to win.
Russia was not an ally of Germany in World War 1.

Japan recognized its similar goals and ideology with respect to nationalism and Imperialism. In addition, the Nazis had specific technological advances that the Japanese wanted to incorporate into their war machine. However, the primary reason was to establish an alliance that would stabilize the war effort for Japan if the Allies took an interest in Japan's plans for the Pacific.

Because the USA stopped supplying Japan with oil, hoping to discourage Japanese expansion. So Japan had the choice of war with the USA or abandoning plans of expansion. What went wrong on the day (December 7th 1941)? Well it was a surprise attack and it worked.
