I doubt it, it would have been very very difficult to do back then. Japan, up until the point that the USA dropped little boy (the first bomb, made of uranium), Japan out right refused to surrender, adopting a 'last man standing approach'. Japan surrendered after the immediate death toll reached between 70,000 and 130,000, but for some reason, the US decided to bomb the living c r a p out of them again, using 'fat man', a plutonium based bomb which caused an immediate death toll of around 45,000. So yes, the US were desperate to test out the A bomb, but i think that the Japanese bombed pearl harbour under their own steam.

Japan became an expansionist united states of america that became attempting to reign in all of Asia below its administration. long in the previous WWII Japan have been at warfare, somewhat with China. that they had additionally fought a warfare with Russia, and gained.

As Japan regarded someplace else for the uncooked ingredients, it found out that the US could desire to pose a threat interior the Pacific so, they released an attack on Pearl Harbor the place the US Pacific fleet and somewhat, the plane vendors have been docked. The plan became to knock the vendors out and harm united statesa.'s will for hostilities interior the Pacific however the plan backfired. the jap did no longer attack a single service (all have been out to sea). a great variety of the ships that have been sank in Pearl Harbor have been repaired and positioned decrease back to apply. the main important mistake the jap made became to anticipate individuals had no will to combat. They theory the US might fold--it did no longer. by way of fact Japan could desire to no longer touch American industry, the US became waiting to pump out great quantities of ships, tanks and kit to combat a 2 front warfare--one in Europe and yet another interior the Pacific. So the considerable's the jap nevertheless that by utilising attacking Pearl Harbor, they could be removing a achievable threat to their expansionist plans==without the US no you could still desire to give up them. yet as Admiral Yokomoto stated after attacking the US, "...we've woken a sound asleep ordinary."

There isn't a single thing in history that's happened that hasn't had a conspiracy theory attached to it. We can either waste time listening to that nonsense, or we can look at what really happened, and learn from it so it will never happen again.
Oh...we get the 9/11 reference, all right.

How did FDR get the Japanese agree to attack a U.S. naval base just so that they could lose their empire, their military might, and just so that their civilians could be brutally burned to death by the U.S. war machine? I don't think that Japan would have agreed to that deal, since there is nothing in it for them.
