because Americans had pride for their country and they weren't going to let the Japanese get away with the attack. the attack on that US naval base cost America many battleships planes and other supplies. thousands of Americans lost their lives on that day- both soldiers and civilians. also the us wanted to set up democracies in many countries. this is what happened to Japan after its military leader was brought down.

Japan fully expected that the US would fight back after Pearl Harbor was bombed. The purpose of the bombing was to destroy the US Pacific Fleet and thus make the US unable to apply significant military force in the Pacific while Japan conquered the territories it needed. Some in Japan thought the US could then be brought to peace talks and a treaty. Others understood that Japan having the upper hand in the Western Pacific would probably only be a temporary situation.
