We didn't go to war until Japan attacked Pearl Harbor.

You would be implying that we had no intention of going to war, had no knowledge of the Japanese threat, and did nothing to provoke them. I don't blame you for seeing it that way but history isn't as black and white as we're taught.

The only thing we did that could have possibly provoked them was instituting an embargo when they started invading the Pacific. We didn't attack them, we simply didn't want to fuel their imperialistic expansion. Negotiations were underway between us and Japan when they attacked.

Edited by Nonebot: 7/10/2015 11:40:45 PMHere's a nice chunk of information which helps to explain how I came to my conclusions. Edit: There's also a book entitled "Day of Deceit" about how FDR had prior knowledge of the attack. Take it or leave it but there's some interesting evidence to support it.
