I love how you're being down voted for facts lol. Also as an FYI, Americans know nothing about the oil embargoes on Japan and how Indonesia and the Philippines played into japan's needs. The US choke holded Japan and they had like a year left before everybody would freeze and starve. So Pearl Harbour it was, and they got lucky the US just happened to park all the ships there, they weren't planning on it. But that news isn't taught to Americans. They truly believe it was an unprovoked attack out of the blue.

They could have always, (checks notes), not invaded China or Vietnam.
