An oil boycott was the crucial factor in the attack on Pearl
Harbor. It was organized by the U.S. against Japan, which feared
economic strangulation, and attacked Pearl Harbor as the
cul-mination of a period of political, economic, and military
compe-tition between Japan and the West. Japan was a new world
power and in the 1930s created a "sphere of interest" in East Asia,
as the U.S. and the European powers had done before. But the latter
opposed aggressive imperialism by a non-Western power with
diplomatic and economic means. The irreconcilable differences
between Japan and the U.S. in the 1930s and early 1940s are
reflected in this selection of diplomatic sources which include
draft treaties, diplomatic notes, intercepted messages, and other
documents. The result is a case study of the origins of WWII, the
events that led to the attack on December 7, 1941, and of diplomacy
gone awry.
