I learned how little influence the emperor actually had. He stands more as a symbol than an acting power, and it is important that he remain as such in order for him to not be associated with any unpopular decision that could tarnish his reputation.

I learned that most japanese were willing to pursue extreme measures if it meant getting what they wanted

Pearl Harbor was one of the largest U.S naval bases, so Japan thought that their only chance at winning at sea would be to bomb Pearl Harbor so that the U.S couldn't fight back

Pearl Harbour was seen as an easy target by Japan. They hoped that if they could successfully bomb it, the US would know how serious they were about want they wanted

Has Japan made any reparations towards the united states for pearl harbor?

# data[].attributes.body
To give an advantage an inhibit opposition to taking over more neighboring land

# data[].attributes.body
I think Japan chose to bomb pearl harbor because they would gain an advantage of attacking first and they needed to attack before their oil supply ran out

# data[].attributes.body
Because they wanted to strike first and catch the powerful American navy off-guard. Also they needed to outnumber the American fleet on the pacific side

# data[].attributes.body
In hindsight, was the bombing of Pearl Harbor an overstep by Japan that wasn't necessary, or were they pretty much doomed either way?

# data[].attributes.body
Japan was willing to break bonds with countries that they previously had ties to, which is normally very risky, so they were willing to take chances

It gave them a huge sense of national pride. Almost like an ego boost , but when they went to war it was very evident that they were too overly confident

Japan is very militaristic, from the meetings with the cabinet I learned that Japan was very divided and unstable

Japan needed oil in order to have a military for longer than two more years, and ultimately they chose to take the dutch east indies. The Americans would not have been happy with this, and as a defense tactic for the Japanese, they bombed their nearest naval base using kamikaze.

Given that it was non-negotiable for Japan to try and gain/expand a sphere of influence, and that the only way to do this was through force, bombing pearl harbor was the most logical step to try and not get Japans navy overwhelmed by America
