Japan attacked the US because they were allies with Nazi Germany, and if the Nazis directly started the war with them, then that would be like biting the hand that feeds you..... The Japanese were on their own terms on the other side of the world, they probably didn't know the whole details between the US and Germany, they got paranoid, and they attacked....

Japan attacked only the navel fleet at Pearl Harbor in hopes of sinking the US navel fleet.. The US had been the world's supply of oil and was Japan's oil supplier, but the US embargoed oil to Japan to stop Japan's invasion of China. Japan had 5 years of oil stock piled and took the chance of sinking the US navy, hoping it could then get oil from new suppliers not controlled by the US. Then it could complete its invasion of China and China would not have become communist, but also our trading partners would have lost their control of Chinese businesses.

My Space calls war "mean politics", and politics are very much about trade agreements and economics, not just making laws to rule citizens.
