The United States, along with England and The U.S.S.R., was helping the Chinese. Japan had entered into war with the Chinese before war was declared in Europe. Japan captured Manchuria and five other northern provices of China. The Japanese wanted to stop all aid to China from the Allies and the United States. This request was turned down and the U.S. put an embargo on Japan. Japan was angered at this because they relied on the United States for many products that helped their war effort, for example steel. Japan retaliated with the bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. The Japanese attacked with six aircraft carriers. The U.S. lost eight battleships, three cruisers, four destroyers, five other ships, and 188 airplanes. U.S. casualties were 2,400 killed and 1,000 injured. Japan suffered minor losses. This act made Congress declare war, thus entering the U.S.A. into World War II.
Japan needed the things it was buying from the U.S., like scrap iron and oil, to make the weapons in was using in its war in China and for its coming attacks in the Pacific and Indochina. By halting the sale of these materials it was hoped that Japan might be forced to make peace instead of launching a wider war. Michael Montagne
