Why was the attack on Pearl Harbor?

The Japanese knew that the United States was on the verge of entering World War II so they tried to delay the US making an impact by hoping to destroy the US's Aircraft Carrier's that would normally be stationed at Pearl Harbor. Fortunately the carriers were not there during the attack, however Japan did sever a blow by sinking and destroying battleships and cruisers that were berthed there.


Did japan attack Pearl Harbor because the US wouldn't let them trade?

No. The reason that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor was because they were worried that the gigantic US Pacific Fleet would try to halt their expansion to other islands. they wanted to deal a crippling blow so the US wouldn't be able to interfere. Unfortunately for Japan, they didn't destroy every ship, and the USS Enterprise was not at Pearl Harbor so it wasn't affected in anyway. The USS Enterprise was the main ship that led to the downfall of the Japanese Navy.
