    Introduction The attack on Pearl Harbour occurred before World War Two, on December 7th 1941, when Japan launched a pre-emptive strike against the United States of America. Pearl Harbour, in Hawaii, was attacked, and 20 naval vessels, as well as 300 airplanes, were destroyed. The Japanese did this because the American government had imposed sanctions and trade embargoes upon Japan as a result of Japan declaring war on China and attempting to take over China’s import market, in order to solve its demographic and economic issues.2 This prompted the American congress to vote to join World War Two, two years after it had begun.2 My research task aims to discover whether or not Japan’s actions are justified.
