FDR AND PEARL HARBOR Part 2

Almost as soon as the attacks occurred, conspiracy theorists began claiming that President
Roosevelt had prior knowledge of the assault on Pearl Harbor. Others have claimed he tricked
the Japanese into starting a war with the United States as a "back door" way to go to war with
Japan's ally, Nazi Germany. However, after nearly 65 years, no document or credible witness
has been discovered that prove either claim. Most scholars view Pearl Harbor as the
consequence of missed clues, intelligence errors, and overconfidence.
The causes behind the Japanese attack are complex and date back to the 1930s, when Japan
undertook a military/colonial expansion in China—culminating in a full-scale invasion in 1937.
America opposed this expansion and used a variety of methods to try to deter Japan.
