What were people fighting for in World War 2?

On 7th December 1941 (surely you must know this) carrier borne planes of the Imperial Japanese Navy bombed the American Naval Base at Pearl Harbor and destroyed many aircraft and sank battleships which were moored in the harbour. Unbeknown to the Japanese, the American carrier carrier fleet had left on a training mission and was therefore undamaged. Japan declared war on the US at the same time as the raid and the US responded appropriately. So the answer to your question must be that the USA was fighting for lost pride and revenge.
