Japan deceived the U.S. primarily through diplomatic negotiations and intelligence operations leading up to World War II. While engaging in talks to maintain peace, Japan was secretly expanding its military presence in Asia and preparing for war. The most significant act of deception culminated in the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, which aimed to cripple the U.S. Pacific Fleet and prevent American interference in Japan's imperial ambitions. This attack caught the U.S. off guard, despite some intelligence warnings that had been overlooked or misinterpreted.
