One of the main reasons for this attack was that Japan needed to have a total control over the Pacific area in order to be aple to take the oil they needed for their empire by force from the Dutch East Indies and British Malaya. The mighty US pacific fleet was the only thing that stood in the way of Japan.

Why Japan Attacked Pearl Harbor !?
Back in the 1930s Japan was quickly expanding in the south-east Asia wanted to secure the natural resources that mainland Japan didn’t posses.
In 1931, Japan invaded the Chinese province of Manchuria, very rich in coal, iron and oil. The next obvious step for Japan was the attack on the rest of China. Although at the beginning the war went well for Japan it transformed in a stalemate.
With Japan shifting it’s attacks to Indochina, the U.S. quickly felt that his dominance in the Pacific was threatened and responded with an embargo on it’s exports to Japan. This was followed by Britain and The Netherlands, thus Japan lost 94% of it’s vital oil supply.
The only option for Japan was to take the resources by force from British Malaya and the Dutch east indies, but they were sure that U.S. will respond it’s invasion with force.
That’s why Japan decided to completely destroy the U.S. Pacific fleet, by attacking it on it’s main base, Pearl Harbor, and shift the Pacific dominance to their side.
