Japan attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, primarily to stop U.S. military operations in the Pacific Ocean. The Japanese government aimed to weaken the U.S. Pacific Fleet, which they viewed as a significant threat to their expansionist goals in Southeast Asia and the Pacific. The attack was intended to prevent American interference as Japan sought to secure resources and territory in the region.
