Pearl Harbor

Here is a site about how Japan attcked Pearl Harbor:http://www.pearlharbor.org/history-of-pearl-harbor.asp

It says about the Japanese's ambition to get mere territories. Japan invaded the southeast of Asia because of its lack of resources, which was caused by the US's embargo on steels and fuel sold to Japan. Japan started planning to declare war to the US. Japanese intended to attack Pearl Harbor because a bult of the U.S. Pacific Fleet, which was the key of the war, were there. Japan invaded Pearl Harbor. They fulfilled their purpose of damage to the U.S. Pacific Fleet, but they also killed or harmed about 3,500 people. Nonetheless, the invasion caused a critical situation to Japanese themselves because they didn't have enough fuel to fight with the US.
