I would like to know why Pearl Harbor was bombed by the Japanese. We didn't do anything wrong to them, but they sure got it back good. That's what they get for messing with the U.S. of A. It cost them more people killed than we did. You mess with the bull and you get the horn...

The Japanese were tired of negotiations with the United States. They wanted to continue their expansion within Asia but the United States had placed an extremely restrictive embargo on Japan in the hopes of curbing Japan's aggression. Negotiations to solve their differences hadn't been going well.
Rather than giving in to U.S. demands, the Japanese decided to launch a surprise attack against the United States in an attempt to destroy the United States' naval power even before an official announcement of war was given.
