    I agree with your first point, but it’s not the main reason why US was attacked - even if it was 100% isolationist, it would have been attacked anyway, because Japan can’t really fulfill its imperial ambitions, if they have the US pacific fleet in its backside.

      Japanese also thought the Americans would give them better terms of surrender than the British or thr Soviets.
