National Park Service, adapted by Newsela staff
The attack on Pearl Harbor came after years of worsening relations between Japan and the United States. They had differences over Japan's behavior toward China. This breakdown began in 1931, when Japanese army extremists defied their government policy and invaded the Chinese province of Manchuria.

(Japan ignored American protests. In 1937, it launched an attack on the rest of China. Although alarmed by this action, the United States was not willing to use military force to stop the advances.0
