The oil embargo made the Japanese furious. They had to import all their oil. They tried to negoiate with the US but got impatient with them. They wanted the oil in the Dutch East Indies and they were going to take the Dutch East Indies regardless of what Netherlands, The Britons and the Americans thought. So they attacked Pearl Harbor to prevent the US Navy from going to the Dutch East Indies.
