hy did Japanese leaders attack Pearl Harbor? To form an alliance with the United States against Germany. They wanted to prevent
American leaders from offering assistance to Britain and the Soviet Union against Nazi Germany They hoped to force Americans to accept Japanese supremacy in Asia. The was part of a careful plan for world domination since Japanse leaders believed Americans were racially inferior.
The Japanese intended the attack as a preventive action to keep the United States Pacific Fleet from interfering with its planned military actions in Southeast Asia against overseas territories of the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and the United States. Hope this helps ^_^
