Can you give me a list of reasons why Japan decided to attack Pearl Harbour.
The attack on Pearl Harbor by Japan in 1941 was a significant event in the history of World War II. There were several reasons why Japan decided to launch this attack.

- Japan's desire to expand its empire and secure natural resources, such as oil and rubber, which were essential for its war efforts. The United States, however, had imposed an embargo on Japan, limiting its access to these resources.

- The tensions between the two countries over Japan's invasion of China and its increasing aggression in the Pacific. The United States had been providing aid to China, which Japan saw as a threat to its expansionist ambitions.

- Japan also saw the United States as a potential military threat and believed that by attacking Pearl Harbor, it could cripple the US Pacific fleet and prevent the United States from interfering in Japan's plans for expansion in the Pacific.
Why did Japan also attack Malaya and Hong Kong on the same day they attacked Pearl Harbor?
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was part of a larger strategy to seize control of the Pacific region. By attacking Malaya and Hong Kong, Japan aimed to secure resources and establish naval bases in those areas before advancing further into the Pacific. This would provide Japan with strategic advantages in its fight against Allied forces and ensure it could maintain supply lines for its troops stationed in the area. Additionally, these two colonies were both under British rule at the time, making them desirable targets for expansion of Japanese imperial power.
