MODERATORS
There were, iirc a number of serious trade restrictions and other measures enacted against Japan at the time that virtually guaranteed their declaring war on us. I don’t think Pearl Harbor itself was anticipated though
It's depressing the degree with which we were taught that Japan basically just bombed the US for no reason other than they were a bloodthirsty race who yearned to go out killing for its own sake. And then we berate them for not teaching history properly.
