Why Japan Attacked Pearl Harbor？

Описание: n 1937, Japan launched a full-scale invasion of China — but the war dragged on with no end in sight. China had no oil, and Japan was burning through its reserves fast. To keep the war machine running, Japan had to buy oil from America. But on July 26, 1941, Japan moved into southern French Indochina, and America hit back hard — freezing Japanese assets and cutting off 94% of Japan's oil supply overnight.

With less than two years of oil reserves left, Japan faced a choice: surrender its empire or strike first.

Japan chose to gamble. On October 19, 1941, Japan's Imperial General Headquarters officially approved the Hawaii Operation — the attack on Pearl Harbor.

This video breaks down the real strategic logic behind one of history's most shocking attacks — and why Japan believed it had no other option.
