The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, because the US cut off their oil supply. And the bombing, is also a factor that led to WWI.
The Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor for many reasons. One reason was because they wanted to have power. The Japanese already occupied China during the Spanish-American War. America didn't want to acknowledge their authority because America occupied the Philippines. Also, Japan along with the other Axis countries wanted itself to gain world domination by military force. Another reason for the bombing of Pearl Harbor was due to the fact that Japan needed Natural Resources like oil in order to expand. There were many other factors that led Japan to bombing, too.

Japan wanted to have control over most of the world, and in order to do that they needed to attack the Indies, Malaya, and the Philippines; no one ever thought they would attack the U.S.
Japan chose to attack Pearl Harbor for several reasons: first, to neutralize the U.S. Pacific Fleet, which posed a threat to Japanese expansion in Southeast Asia. Second, the attack aimed to buy time for Japan to consolidate its territorial gains and resources, particularly in the context of rising tensions with the United States over its expansionist policies. Lastly, Japan sought to demonstrate its military strength and resolve, hoping to deter American intervention in its regional ambitions.
