Answer 1

The primary reason the House and Senate voted to declare war on Japan was that **Americans were attacked at Pearl Harbor**. The attack on December 7, 1941, by Japanese forces led to significant loss of life and damage to the U.S. Pacific Fleet, prompting the U.S. to formally enter World War II.
