I have a question about Pearl Harbor. Did FDR provoke Japan to attack in order to enter WWII?
There is no concrete evidence to suggest that FDR intentionally provoked Japan to attack Pearl Harbor. In fact, many historians believe that Japan's decision to attack was mainly due to their desire to expand their empire and access to natural resources in Southeast Asia.
