SaNdY_CuTe is right is False! Japan was trying to become the dominant, imperial power in East Asia and the Pacific. They had invaded China in 1933 and were preparing to conquer Indochina, Maylasia, India and the Pacific islands. they wanted to control all these territories so that they could use the raw materials in them for their own industries. The United States had been growing steadily more opposed to the Japanese expansion. They knew that if they attacked those other countries we might go to war to stop them. So they decided to attack us first. They hoped they could cripple us so we could not oppose them while they grabbed as much territory as they could and that once they had the territory we would make peace and let them keep it. The first part of their plan worked.
