They didn't attack us first and emperor Hirohito of Japan didn't want to attack us but General Hideki Tojo wanted to conquer us and said " the American bases in Hawaii makes Hawaii a dagger pointed at our throats." So The Japanese assured Hirohito we were not to go to war with the US. But the Japanese (Tojo) had been planning the attack on Pearl Harbor Long before we stopped sending oil. God only knows why they attacked us. I quite frankly think they were idiots for doing so.
