It's because Japan thought they could beat us. Japan conquered a large part of Asia and the Pacific to secure the nature resources and land which their country lacks. By pushing western interests out of the region, they could secure their empire and join the ranks of world super powers. Considering things like general Yamamoto's plan to attack the Panama Canal, the Japanese were an extremely formidable side to face.
