Re: Did Roosevelt push Japan into attacking Pearl Harbor?

I think he used his knowledge of Japanese culture to 'steer' them into war with the US. When he put the trade embargo on Japan to force them to withdraw from China he knew they wouldn't comply since that would result in a huge loss of face.
