Actually, it's not so black and white...
Authored by: Anonymous on Monday, November 19 2012 @ 07:43 PM EST
From the little background to the Pacific war I've read, I understand the US
basically strangled Japanese trade & resource supply lines, in an effort to
remain the dominant power in the region.

The Japanese were basically backed into a corner, where, in order to get the oil
& other resources they wanted, they had no choice but armed conflict with
the US. On that basis, they decided a sneak attack on the US Pacific fleet at
Pearl Harbour was the option most likely to be successful, from a military
standpoint.

Just to be perfectly clear - I don't for one minute think this excuses the way
Japan went about achieving it's aims, but given the situation they were in, and
the mindset of the time, it's easy to follow their reasoning.
