Japan goes after countries in East Asia, U.S. vowed to protect China and told Japan to get out. They didn't, and Japan's leader Hideki Tojo made plans to strile first even while Japanese officials continued talks in Washington, U.S. broke Japanese code and knew attacks were coming December 7, 1941. U.s. thought it would be in the Phillipines.
