The reason for the attack on Pearl Harbor and the goal of the attack are not the same.

Britain and France, Poland’s allies, declared war on Germany in response. But for others, the war started earlier. The Second World War started because the three major expansionist “Axis” powers—Fascist Italy, Nazi Germany, and Imperial Japan—wanted to conquer other countries and build empires.

In April–May 1945, the British Armed Forces developed Operation Unthinkable, thought to be the first scenario of the Third World War. Its primary goal was “to impose upon Russia the will of the United States and the British Empire”.

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.

But the Pearl Harbor attack had failed in its objective to completely destroy the Pacific Fleet. The Japanese bombers missed oil tanks, ammunition sites and repair facilities, and not a single U.S. aircraft carrier was present during the attack.

Many experts have considered the US impossible to invade because of its major industries, reliable and fast supply lines, large geographical size, geographic location, population size, and difficult regional features.
