Japan's values and decisions were heavily influenced by pan-Asianism and uniting the Asian countries under Japan. Upholding the value and honor of the country and following the Bushido code was also important in making decisions.

I learnt that the Bushido Code held lots of importance in Japanese politics. One of its principles specifically that I found affected me in the game was loyalty and respect towards superiors. Despite the fact someone may have differing opinions on a topic ultimately it is important that everyone supports the final decision as a demonstration of Japans nationalism.

I think that the fact that the United states was one of the obstacles in the way of japan's goal of pan-asianism is the reason that they decided to surprise the united states with this attack. Pearl Harbor was the easiest target for japan, as it is isolated from the main land, and it was a valuable naval base to the united states.

In Japan bombing pearl harbor, they got a head start on the war. I think that the Japanese predicted that the war was inevitable, so they might as well get a head start. The location of pearl harbor is also significant as I believe it was chosen by the Japanese in an effort to end the war quickly by weakening the US naval strength and capturing oil supplies.

Especially given how they treated US and other countries' Prisoners of War, it would be safe to assume that the Japanese valued their pride and honor over human life, which means the wars they fought it were very brutal and had many casualties.

I think that they determined that choosing a target closest to Japan as well as one that would affect the U.S's ability to strike back quickly would be the best option

Both of these beliefs were used very seriously and the government used the bushido code as a way of defending their actions of how they can't show weakness, but ultimately their treatment in war to other countries would not have followed the original bushido code.

After years of being under the thumb of western powers, pan-Asianism was one of the ideas that drove Japan for war. They wanted more than anything to drive out the west and work freely with other Asian countries. They also hoped to rule over some of these countries themselves.

"Pan-Asianism" caused the Japanese to be unwilling to negotiate with using their Asian territories as barganing chips. The bushido code caused Japanese politicians to confuse weakness with rational decisions regarding engaging in war.

Japan wanted to prove to the U.S. and the rest of the Western powers that they weren't weak, and they did this by striking first because it shows they were strong. They also probably knew that this would catch the U.S. off guard and would limit their abilities in war for some time.

Pretty horrifying. As mentioned before, many Japanese soldiers chose death rather than loss and capture, causing extreme and brutal fighting throughout the Pacific Theatre.

Japan wanted to catch the US off guard and wanted to attack because of the unfair tariffs and treadies given to Japan from the US. Because the bushido code is so prevalent in Japan they felt that if they did not attack it would go against the values of Japan. Japan wanted the respect of all global powers and to be treated as such.

The Bushido Code was definitely a major factor in a lot of Imperial Japans decisions. Honor being one of the Bushido Code's central principles definitely influenced Japans choice to attack the west. If they were to have conceded and not fought the west it would be perceived as a sign of weakness.

The Busido Code emphasized a lot of national pride, which likely led the Japanese government and citizens at the time to believe that they were "above" other nations (particularly China) and that it was their responsibility to assert control over these other powers.

I think that the bushido code influence japan in their decision to fight against western powers because the code is based on the idea that it is better to fight your enemies and lose than it is to be a coward. Since the western powers were standing in the way of japan's idea of pan-Asianism, that is who they viewed as their enemy.

I learned that Japan prioritized the Bushido code, which emphasized loyalty, pride, and strength, as well as the goal of Pan-Asianism. I also realized that the Emperor didn't seem to control the conversation about what Japan should do - he wasn't even in our game. He seemed like more of a figurehead and face of Japan than anything.

Pan-Asianism motivated Japan to expand its sphere of influence and view its expansions as justified. The Bushido code called for risk taking and decisive actions including "declaring" war on the US.

Pan-Asianism is a large ideology and with that comes loyalty, tying into the Bushido code, another large idea in Japan.

I beleive that this was their notion of "Striking First" and attempting to force the US to mobilize while the Japanese Navy/Army was already war ready. They sought to attack the US since there wasnt much that the Japanese could do to negotiate if they still sought to maintian "Pan-Asianism", and also the allies were impinging on this ideology already. They understood that if they went to war with the British (who were increasing SE asia presence), that would also include the US

Lots of Kamikazes... I assume the navy and airforce took over and the army wasn't used much. The amount of warships (United States of America) probably hurt Japan and I assume the Kamikazes crashed into these Ships and sunk them.

I think that Japan chose to bomb Pearl Harbor because they wanted to get ahead of the United States - after playing the game, I can see the perspective that Japan saw war with the United States as an inevitable enemy and wanted to sneak up on them, destroy their navy, and put them at a potential disadvantage because they saw war as inevitable. Japan prioritized the Bushido Code and, after Roosevelt's sanctions placed against Japan, they chose to bomb Pearl Harbor.
