The Japanese intended making war with the US since the US stopped trading with them ever since the outbreak of World War II. So on December 7,1941 the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor which aggravated the US and they declared war against the Axis the very next day. The war started on the bombing of Pearl Harbor.
