Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese on December 7, 1941, primarily due to escalating tensions between Japan and the United States. Japan sought to expand its territory in Asia and the Pacific, while the U.S. had imposed economic sanctions and trade embargoes that threatened its imperial ambitions. The surprise attack aimed to neutralize the U.S. Pacific Fleet and prevent interference with Japan's planned military operations in Southeast Asia. This attack ultimately led to the U.S. entering World War II.
