Is it japans fault that America contributed in world war 2?
No, Japan was at war with China. Despite being a military superpower, their war with China was using up their resources. During that time, most of their resources especially oil were coming from the US. The US did not approve of Japanese aggression in China and they declared an embargo on Japan. This means they would stop supplying Japan with raw materials. So where would Japan get their resources to continue the war now? The Japanese High Command carefully discussed this and came up with the conclusion that the Dutch East Indies would be the best place to gain resources. But they knew that an attack on the Dutch East Indies would probably bring the US into the war. So they had to find a way to prevent the US from fighting with them until they conquered the Dutch East Indies. That's when they planned Pearl Harbor. The goal of Pearl Harbor was to disable the American fleet for a few months to give them enough time to conquer the Dutch East Indies and to absorb its resources to finance their war in China and the US once the US' navy was rebuilt. Japan had to do do what it had to do.
Why were the Americans fighting the Japanese in World War 2?
The US had placed an oil embargo on Japan. The Japanese were totally dependent on other countries for their petroleum and other natural resources. They invaded China and killed thousands of Chinese. They also went to South East Asia to get oil. The Americans were not going to sell them oil until they stopped these actions. They wanted the oil in the Dutch East Indies. So they got the idea to annihilate the US Navy so they could not go after the Japanese once they arrived in the Dutch East Indies. Their plan backfired however when they failed to destroy the carriers. The rest is history.

Atlantic Creoles were individuals of mixed African and European ancestry, often born in the Americas during the colonial period. When they gained half-freedom, they enjoyed certain rights, such as the ability to work for themselves and retain part of their earnings, but they were still subject to some control by the Dutch West Indies Company, which could demand labor or impose restrictions. Their children, however, typically did not inherit the same half-freedom status and were often born into enslavement, reflecting the prevailing legal and social norms of the time.
