War material ties blamed for Pearl Harbor raid reasoning
A reader argues that American scrap metal and war materials supplied Japan helped fuel the Pearl Harbor attack. He cites U S exports of oil gas and armor plate to Japan, notes wartime supply chains, and suggests Japan believed it could strengthen its position against the United States before December 7. He warns Japan needed Dutch East Indies riches and other conquests to sustain its Axis alliance.
