1. If anything, Germany would not have wanted Japan to attack the United States; Germany wanted Japan to attack the SOVIET UNION (Russia); to relieve pressure on the German Army's Russian Front. 2. By all accounts, Germany was taken by surprise by the Japanese attack on the US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor. 3. Japan had it's own plans for the Pacific and Asia.

Africa); then other plans for world conquest could have been drawn up.

Why Japan think they could defeat the US at Pearl Harbor?

Pearl Harbor was only one battle; not the war. Wars are mostly a series of battles. A nation can WIN every battle and still lose a war. Or, a nation can LOSE every battle and still win a war. One of the elements of the "Art of War" is "surprise." Japan planned on delivering a "surprise knock-out punch" to the US Navy. It was successful in carrying out that mission. Had they not been successful; the battles of the Java Sea, Savo Island, Guadalcanal, etc. would have been BATTLESHIP ENGAGEMENTS instead of CRUISER sea battles. Those cruiser sea fights were fought without battleships, because the US Battleships were sunk at Pearl Harbor.

What did the American public think of the internment camps?

After the attacks on Pearl Harbor, many white Americans began to distrust Japanese Americans and their patriotic loyalties. Also, the Japanese Navy's location was unknown at the time, and thus many believed that a Japanese attack on the west coast could have occurred at any time. Many white Americans believed that Japanese Americans could provide intelligence for the Imperial Japanese forces, and that if the Japanese Navy were to attack the west coast, Japanese Americans would join the invaders and help fight against the United States. Many white Americans believed that the internment was justified, and the US Supreme Court agreed. In Korematsu v. United States, the Supreme Court ok'd the internment of Japanese Americans, citing public safety and protection against espionage to be a valid reason for internment and the taking of civil rights and liberties from Japanese Americans.

How did Pearl Harbor make things worse for the allies?

Pearl Harbor didn't make things worse for the allies. Pearl Harbor CAUSED the US Navy to use a better weapon; the aircraft carriers.

Pearl Harbor brought the US into war with Germany; which is what Roosevelt & Churchill WANTED. Germany declared war on the US on Dec 11, 1941 (in the hopes that Japan would help Germany by opening a second "front" on Russia). Pearl Harbor "United" the US People; which is what Roosevelt wanted.
