Perhaps.
Japan had totally misread the American people.
They wanted no part of a war and if Japan had sought its oil and steel from other sources in Asia, there is no guarantee the US would have intervened.
The Japanese may have been able to establish their sources for raw materials without the US declaring war.
There was no one in the Far East to fight the Japanese.
The British certainly were not.
And Yamamoto told the Japanese it would only give them 6 months of free rein.
What they did was give FDR the avenue to go to war.
In a ferocity that Japan could never imagine.
The attack on Truk Lagoon in Fe
Hi
The Great Pacific War, written in 1925 by Hector Bywater, a British naval authority, described the attack on Pearl and was read by Yamamoto who said don’t do it s it would awake a sleeping giant.
FDR needed a way into WW2 and so the fleet was bait. The dumbest thing however was Hitler declaring war on USA which led to Europe first policy.
Best wishes
