Detailed explanation-1: -The attack was preceded by months of negotiations between the U.S. and Japan over the future of the Pacific. Japanese leaders demanded the U.S. end its sanctions against Japan, cease aiding China in the Second Sino-Japanese war, allow Japan to access the resources of the Dutch East Indies, and more.
Detailed explanation-2: -The attack turned US public opinion in favor of entering the Second World War. The United States declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941. Japan’s allies, Germany and Italy, declared war on the United States on December 11. The United States responded in kind, and therefore entered World War II.
Detailed explanation-3: -The following day, President Franklin Delano Roosevelt addressed the United States, and the U.S. Congress declared war against Japan. Three days later, Germany and Italy declared war on the United States.
