Japan did issue a declaration of war to the US, with the idea that Pearl Harbor would be attacked before defenses could be mobilized. It backfired on them terribly because the declaration was not translated from Japanese to English until after the attack.

Was the attack on pearl harbor a compromise and conflict?
I'm not siding with anyone here. But it was pretty messed up that Japan bombed us. Then again you have to think why did they bomb us? Well because we banned exports to Japan which is needed to survive, Japan practically didn't have any resources. The fact that we banned exports to Japan is a conflict (it is for Japan). Not only was that a conflict but, the attack by Japan was cruel and made the conflict worser. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a huge conflict for America. The conflict was still going on while they were having war, for both Japan and America. So they have their shares of conflicts. However, they made two compromise. They decided to go to war and settle it. And the second compromise was when Japan surrendered and signed the peace treaty.

Then came two pairs, moored side by side: Maryland with Oklahoma outboard, and Tennessee with West Virginia outboard. Astern of Tennessee lay Arizona, which had the repair ship Vestal alongside. Last in line was USS Nevada, by herself at quay F-8. These seven battleships, ranging in age from eighteen to twenty-five years, represented all but two of those available to the Pacific Fleet.
