Well, Japan needed resources and we wouldn't really trade oil with them, Japanese didn't want US to join the war so they felt if they attacked then we wouldn't really fight back. Also, the Japanese felt they could beat the US. But you have to remember, there was a depression world wide and Japan needed their resources.

The US Navy did not ever "blockage" Japan in the traditional sense, where one nation stations naval forces off another's coast, and declares that no ship from any nation may travel to the blockaded country.

However, what it did do, was initiate a "de-facto" blockage of the Japanese Home Islands via unrestricted submarine warfare. That is, starting in 1942 after the declaration of war following the attack on Pearl Harbor, the US Navy's submarine force attempted to destroy the Japanese Merchant Marine, and thus effectively cripple the Japanese importation of goods, and virtually all trade with Japan was done on Japanese-flagged vessels.

The US Navy was spectacularly successful in this regard. By mid-1944, the Japanese Merchant Marine was effectively extinct, and by 1945, even the coastal freighters which carried goods between Japanese cities had been exterminated.

The US stopped exporting steel, aviation fuel, and scrap iron to Japan. Japan got mad and allied with Germany and Italy and eventually Japan attacked the US. On the day of Dec. 7, 1941, diplomats from Japan were meeting with Congress in Washington to make peace with the US. Well, as that was going on, Japanese fighter planes attacked Pearl Harbor.

There were a very large number of drawbacks and perils in the Pearl Harbor attack for Japan. So many, in fact, that the only reason the attack was made was the force of Admiral Yamamoto's personality. What Japan was after was a free hand in Asia, freedom to continue their invasion in China, and, specifically, to make their next move unmolested. Japanese aggression in China had severely strained US-Japanese relations. Then the Japanese moved into French Indochina (Vietnam) after France was overrun by Germany, adding further strain. The Japanese had now set their sights on the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia). This was a vital step in Japan's plan. The East Indies had tremendous oil reserves. Japan has no internal source of oil, and the US had embargoed oil sales to Japan in the summer of 1941. The Japanese had only eighteen months worth of oil in reserve, and the embargo made the choice plain - either give up on the dream of empire, to which Japan felt entitled, and comply with US demands to cease aggression and conquest, or come up with another source of oil. With the military in control of Japan this was no choice at all, and the Dutch East Indies were going to be invaded. This was the main operation, the one which absolutely HAD to succeed for Japan to continue with its plans.

The Japanese decision to attack Pearl Harbor was based on an assumption - that the US would go to war with Japan if Japan invaded any more countries, say, for instance, the Dutch East Indies. Whether the US would have gone to war over Japan invading a Dutch colony is far from certain. The military leaders controlling Japan did not completely understand that Franklin Roosevelt did not have the power they did, to take his nation to war whenever he might wish. The Japanese assumed that the US would go to war with them when they made their "southern" move into the Dutch East Indies, and this was the basis of the decision to attack Pearl Harbor. Yamamoto knew he could not win a long or protracted contest with the US. Yamamoto had served in the US as a Naval Attache at the Japanese Embassy, and he was a Harvard man. He knew the US had much more power than Japan. The only chance Japan had, as Yamamoto analyzed the situation, was to strike such a blow to the US fleet in the Pacific that the US would be powerless to interfere with Japan's wars of conquest for at least six months. This would allow time for Japan to complete its conquests, and the US would then face the prospect of a daunting and long effort to dislodge Japan, and might allow Japan to keep what it had won.

So that's one BIG drawback to the Japanese plan. There was no certainty whatsoever that the US would have gone to war with Japan over any Asian aggression. The only way to make certain that the US would go to war with Japan was to attack the US directly, as the Japanese did, when they attacked to disable the US Pacific Fleet in Pearl Harbor.

Many Japanese felt the Pearl Harbor plan was an unnecessary elaboration of their already complex and widespread southern plans. The attack on Hawaii would tie up the majority of Japan's carrier strength, and the Japanese expected they would lose half the carriers committed to Operation Hawaii. The Japanese had a limited number of carriers and using them in an attack on Hawaii meant they would not be available for supporting the main operation. Japanese strategy had envisioned a climactic battle with the US in the western Pacific, an all-out, do-or-die battle to determine the fate of their nation, in the event war came with the US. For this reason their ships had limited radius of operations - they lacked fuel capacity to sail to Hawaii and back without being refueled. The Japanese Navy had not practiced refueling at sea while underway, except of destroyers. Only two of the six carriers could make the round trip without refueling. Seven tankers sailed with the attack force to refuel the fleet while underway. In order to avoid detection while in transit to Hawaii the Japanese had to sail east across the North Pacific, then turn south for Hawaii, avoiding usual shipping lanes. The North Pacific weather in December in unpredictable but generally stormy, with massive seas and fog. It was far from certain that underway refueling would be possible.

The Japanese could not be certain that the US fleet would even be in Pearl Harbor when their attack arrived overhead. Japanese spies had reported that the US fleet had established a pattern of half its ships in port while the other half was at sea, with the largest number in port on the weekend. But no one could be certain that major fleet units would be in port when the attack went off. In the event, the US carriers were absent, most unfortunately for Japan.

The Japanese knew they had to have secrecy and approach undetected for the attack to succeed. At the last meeting before the fleet sortied, Yamamoto warned that the fleet might have to fight its way to the position to launch its attack.

The Japanese could not be certain that the US would not have taken the sensible precaution of surrounding the ships in Pearl Harbor with torpedo nets. The most devastating weapon in a carriers arsenal was the torpedo, launched from the largest carrier aircraft of the day, torpedo bombers. The US did not use torpedo nets in Pearl Harbor, because the Harbor is shallow, no more than forty feet deep. Torpedoes generally dived to a depth of seventy-five feet or more when dropped, so the US admirals believed aerial torpedo attack impossible within Pearl Harbor. So did the Japanese, and it took most of 1941 to train torpedo plane pilots to come in low enough to drop specially modified torpedoes which did most of the damage in the attack.

Carriers embarked torpedo bombers, dive bombers and fighters. Dive bombers dropped 500 lb bombs. These would not go through the thick deck armor of US battleships, and might cause damage on the weather deck, but nothing vital. The Japanese solved this problem by using torpedo bombers as high level bombers, which dropped specially modified one ton battleship armor-piercing shells as bombs. It was one of these which sank the USS Arizona. The high-level torpedo bombers also had to practice and develop special tactics for most of 1941 to achieve success.

The immediate reason for the attacks on Pearl Harbor and other targets in the Pacific and Southeast Asia was that Japan was facing an embargo of strategic materials, especially oil and steel, both of which it needed to persue it's war aims. At that time the US was a major supplier of oil and metals to Japan, and we had embargoed both oil and steel due to the Japanese war in China. At the time of Pearl Harbor, Japan had an approximatly six month supply of oil, so they were hoping to decisively defeat US (and British, Dutch, and French colonial forces as well) quickly enough to force a peace treaty favorable to themselves. Their attack on Pearl Harbor, while destructive, did not stop US Pacific Fleet operations as they had hoped, and while Japan did gain substantial victories all across southeast Asia and the Pacific region, they failed completly to create a situation which would have compelled a surrender or armistice by either the US or Britain.

Japan was trying to become the dominant, imperial power in East Asia and the Pacific. They had invaded China in 1933 and were preparing to conquer Indochina, Maylasia, India and the Pacific islands. they wanted to control all these territories so that they could use the raw materials in them for their own industries. The United States had been growing steadily more opposed to the Japanese expansion. They knew that if they attacked those other countries we might go to war to stop them. So they decided to attack us first. They hoped they could cripple us so we could not oppose them while they grabbed as much territory as they could and that once they had the territory we would make peace and let them keep it. The first part of their plan worked. They were able to take huge amounts of territory in early 1942 because we weren't strong enough to stop them. But their sneak attack had made us mad, very mad. So, we didn't make peace, we made war. They were unable to destroy our remaining strength and we were able to build so many ships and planes and guns and everything else you need for war that we could arm ourselves and the British and the Russians and adopt a "Germany first" strategy and still completely defeat Japan into the bargain. One statistic tells the tale. Before the war both Japan and the united States had both been building about one aircraft carrier a year. From 1942 to 1945 the Japanese built four more. That was all they could do, one a year. In that same three and a half year span the United States commissioned over one hundred aircraft carriers. Michael Montagne To understand why Japan lashed out, we must go back to World War I. Japan had been our ally. But when she tried to collect her share of the booty at Versailles, she ran into an obdurate Woodrow Wilson. Wilson rejected Japan's claim to German concessions in Shantung, home of Confucius, which Japan had captured at a price in blood. Tokyo threatened a walkout if denied what she had been promised by the British. "They are not bluffing," warned Wilson, as he capitulated. "We gave them what they should not have." In 1921, at the Washington Naval Conference, the United States pressured the British to end their 20-year alliance with Japan. By appeasing the Americans, the British enraged and alienated a proud nation that had been a loyal friend. Japan was now isolated, with Stalin's brooding empire to the north, a rising China to the east and, to the south, Western imperial powers that detested and distrusted her. When civil war broke out in China, Japan in 1931 occupied Manchuria as a buffer state. This was the way the Europeans had collected their empires. Yet, the West was "shocked, shocked" that Japan would embark upon a course of "aggression." Said one Japanese diplomat, "Just when we learn how to play poker, they change the game to bridge." Japan now decided to create in China what the British had in India � a vast colony to exploit that would place her among the world powers. In 1937, after a clash at Marco Polo Bridge near Peking, Japan invaded and, after four years of fighting, including the horrific Rape of Nanking, Japan controlled the coastal cities, but not the interior. When France capitulated in June 1940, Japan moved into northern French Indochina. And though the United States had no interest there, we imposed an embargo on steel and scrap metal. After Hitler invaded Russia in June 1941, Japan moved into southern Indochina. FDR ordered all Japanese assets frozen. But FDR did not want to cut off oil. As he told his Cabinet on July 18, an embargo meant war, for that would force oil-starved Japan to seize the oil fields of the Dutch East Indies. But a State Department lawyer named Dean Acheson drew up the sanctions in such a way as to block any Japanese purchases of U.S. oil. By the time FDR found out, in September, he could not back down. Tokyo was now split between a War Party and a Peace Party, with the latter in power. Prime Minister Konoye called in Ambassador Joseph Grew and secretly offered to meet FDR in Juneau or anywhere in the Pacific. According to Grew, Konoye was willing to give up Indochina and China, except a buffer region in the north to protect her from Stalin, in return for the U.S. brokering a peace with China and opening up the oil pipeline. Konoye told Grew that Emperor Hirohito knew of his initiative and was ready to give the order for Japan's retreat. Fearful of a "second Munich," America spurned the offer. Konoye fell from power and was replaced by Hideki Tojo. Still, war was not inevitable. U.S. diplomats prepared to offer Japan a "modus vivendi." If Japan withdrew from southern Indochina, the United States would partially lift the oil embargo. But Chiang Kai-shek became "hysterical," and his American adviser, one Owen Lattimore, intervened to abort the proposal. Facing a choice between death of the empire or fighting for its life, Japan decided to seize the oil fields of the Indies. And the only force capable of interfering was the U.S. fleet that FDR had conveniently moved from San Diego out to Honolulu. Japan was trying to expand in Asia. Their population had doubled and they needed raw materials for their emerging industries. The U.S. tried to negotiate with Japan and offered to help them find raw materials if they would stop their expansionist policies. However, Japan refused believing that the U.S. was not in a position to tell them what to do. The U.S. then embargoed several items such as scrap metal in order to make Japan stop. At this point, Japan saw the U.S. as the major factor in trying to halt their quest for more land. Although the Japanese leaders believed that they would eventually have to face U.S. in a war, they believed that attacking Pearl Harbor would give them at least a year before doing so. I can scarcely attempt to improve on the answer that begins 'To understand why Japan lashed out.......' as that is most coherent response to this question I have ever seen. Alternatively, there is the 'John Wayne movie' response that beings with 'Japan was trying........'. As an addition to the first response as noted above I would like to add a few comments. When two powers are both trying to influence or expand into an area, conflict is almost inevitable. When reading and trying to understand history, try and look past the juvenile good guy/bad guy routines. All nations are looking out for their own best interest. That Japan in WWII attacked several of its neighbors no more makes them a bad nation than it does the USA for destroying their various neighbors and competitors on the North American continent. These conflicts are the natural result for any situation that has dynamic expanding powers. Japan in WWII was looking out for its best interest. That included its elemental need for petroleum and other imports. When looked at in the broader perspective, WWII was almost entirely about petroleum. Germany and Japan both ran their military campaigns with the fundamental desire to control oil fields. The USA was successful in WWII with its projection of power via its naval and air forces entirely due to having huge supplies of oil. That Italy was so inept in WWII is largely a result of oil shortages, lacking even those supplies necessary to sortie their Mediteranian fleet. Had these various factors been turned around I am cetain the USA would have gone to war (calling it 'preemptive' war) to take over the oil from Japanese or German spheres of control. That would not necessarily make the USA a 'bad' nation and Japan/German 'good' nations. It is just the natural course of human history as is being played out in 2006 just like it was in 1942.

technically you could argue that it could be either one. it could be "effect" because japan was already involved in ww2 before the u.s. and during the war they attacked pearl harbor, but it could also be a "cause" because it caused the united states to join the war and attack Japan. so if its for school idk which one they would want but if you tell them what i said they'll be impressed because you'll sound smart :) but if i was doing the worksheet i would put effect, but i would make sure i mentioned what i said above.

The attack along Battleship Row began at 7:55 am, & by 10 am the last bombs had fallen at the various air bases on the island of Oahu.

110 minutes ~ 7:55am -9:45am

58 minutes according to Britannica Online

There are many different answers because the attack lasted different lengths of time at different locations. The 'Pearl Harbor' attack actually encompassed Pearl Harbor, Ford Island, Hickam Field, Schofield Barracks, and more. The attack was divided into three waves, each arriving at a slightly different time and departing separately.

Japanese commanders considered extending the attack but could not get the planes ready for launch until late afternoon, meaning they would be recovered after dark; they were not trained for this. An alternative was to maintain position and attack again on the 8th but the senior officers knew that to do so invited submarine attack and also that their ships did not have enough fuel to return home if they maneuvered another day. and that is one of the most crappy was to spend your morning.

After Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, the United States got involved in WWII. If you want to know why Japan attacked Pearl Harbor see answer to question, Why did Japan attack Pearl Harbor?War was declared on Japan Dec 8th,Germany declared war on the US Dec 11th. And the US then declared war on Germany shortly thereafter.Japan then proceeded to run wild in the Pacific, capturing one island outpost after another and threatening Australia, and conquering the Dutch East Indies and parts of Korea, and all of the Philippines. Their expansion was checked at the Battle of Midway,one of the most important battles of WWII, after which the Japanese remained on the defensive, until the end of the war in August, 1945.Japanese-American people got sent to relocation camps.Japan attacked Luzon, Philippines on that very same day. It's just that the international date line made it seem like Pearl Harbor was attacked on dec. 7, 1941, and then the Philippines were attacked the next day (dec. 8, 1941). That's when the whole Bataan Death March happened and everything.yes, they did get sent to "relocation camps" a.k.a internment camps but a lot more happened, EVERYONE in the united states who was Japanese, where guilty until proven innocent...even people who lived in the US for MANY years were considered terrorists...so they were sent to internment camps or were forced to go back to japan. The United States declared war on Japan. Germany and Italy declared war on the United States. We reciprocated. Japan overran the Philippines, much of the South and West Pacific and Indochina in about six months. Then we stopped them at the Battle of Midway. Then we, along with our allies who were largely supplied by us, preceded to pound these enemies into powder.
