December 7th, 1941. The surprise attack by the Japanese against the American Naval base of Pearl Harbor has Americans readying for war. December 8th, 1941, Franklin Delano Roosevelt Declares war on Germany, Japan, and Italy.

Japanese strategists and their government felt boxed in. With a decade long war in China, and economic sanctions drafted by United States, Dutch Indonesia, and the British Commonwealth, Japan chose to negotiate.

America did not reciprocate. Time after time American leaders rejected the efforts of Japanese's negotiations. In Today's video we outline how that is, and why it happened.

Why did FDR, Secretary Hull, and the leading elite at the time want war with Germany and Japan.
