Had president roosevelt not move the us pacific fleet west to pearl harbor how might the Japanese launched world war 2 or would they have attacked the us at all knowing that the capacity for a knock o?

Since the 1800's, Hawaii (Pearl Harbor) had been of strategic interest to all modern nations located in the pacific rim; Japan, Russia, Britain, US, etc. Because of that "interest", the US annexed Hawaii in 1898. 1. Theory #1: Had NOT the US Battle Fleet been moved/transferred from California to Hawaii; there might not have been an attack on Pearl Harbor. The Japanese wanted to expand in the pacific...not engage the US for the sake of fighting the US. Pearl Harbor was attacked to ELIMINATE the US threat located there. Consequently, Japan may have left "sleeping dogs" alone. 2. Theory #2: However, if Tokyo Headquarters felt that the Pearl Harbor Naval Base might ultimately become strengthened by US Forces while Japan was engaged in it's conquests, within the surrounding pacific areas; Japan might have done more than simply attack Pearl Harbor...they might have invaded it. This would give them the strategic advantage in controlling the Pacific Ocean...and if the US wanted it back, then the US would have to take it back, like Okinawa, Iwo Jima, Guadalcanal, etc., had to be taken.
