So how many people know WHY Japan bombed Pearl Harbor? Not many judging by the posts so far...

Actually, we've not yet met.

Why is that?

Because Japan, lacking adequate oil, felt threatened by the U.S. cutting off the oil we were supplying to them as a response to their aggressive behavior in the far east...

Told ya so.

...and they surprise attacked us because they had to cripple our pacific fleet as much as possible if they were to have a chance at defeating us.

I presume it's because you haven't yet needed my services, professionally.

And, socially, I don't think we hang with the same crowd; although, we both know Kath.

sort of off topic: does anyone here play axis and allies?

You forgot to mention that enforcing an oil embargo was, at the time, considered an act of war by most nations on the planet. Including the USA.

Nope, but Hidden And Dangerous 2 is great :thumbsup

gonna check it out now actually. Anything to do with WW2 era is intriguing:thumbsup

Correct, and along those lines...

They were obviously upset with the US Oil embargo... and looked at Southeast asia for their supply.... because of US Interests in that area, they knew the US would not allow that, and felt that removing the Pacific fleet from the equation, would allow their expansion into that area....
