Japan's actions and world reputation as a cruel imperial power (in addition to being part of the Axis
Powers Germany and Italy) prompted the United States to respond by imposing an embargo-or a ban-on
trade with Japan. Japan had been a buyer of oil and metal from the United States. Japan would then use
the oil and metals to move and build their war machine. The U.S. had to stop selling it to Japan. This
made Japan take more territories to acquire more raw materials.
America's embargo and support for a democratic and free China increased tension with Japan. The
United States and Japan began to negotiate in early 1941. Japan refused to give up their empire and their
membership with the Axis Powers. It offered to give up Southeast Asia in exchange that the US withdraw
support for China. Both sides could not reach an agreement. The US also refused to drop the embargo
and sanctions on Japan. While these negotiations were going on, Japan was about to launch an attack
on Hawaii if the talks failed.
