Dear Historian,
Would you happen to have the answer to this question posed to me by my child concerning the events that precipitated the actual attack by the japanese on pearl harbor in 1941. Question: What mitigating factor, or factors pushed Japan to the act of war against the U.S. ? What did the United States do to Japan that irritated them to the point of retaliation against the U.S.A. ? I am extremely interested in the japanese version of this historical event ? I hope you can enlighten me so I can explain this to others who ask.
Thank you very much
Rick
