A small reason why Pearl Harbor was attacked was because the Japanese felt very threatened by the American's even though they were not in the war yet and the Japanese figured that they would attack first.

also we made an embargo to oil going to Japan. the reason being is that japan was trying to inflate prices on valuable goods that we enbarked from there country. feeling threatened they attacked our western naval fleet, hoping to wipe out are capaility to controll the pacific waters so that they could advance accros the water in order to invade our country, to eveuntally occupy, or make a treaty. they were not necessary threatened by us, more so Hitler, and Stalin. they felt since the Hitler (at the was winning the war) they would take advantage of the opportunity to advance there place in the world as a world power, and rid themselves of communist persuctuion from Stalin.
