    • Trade embargo put in place by FDR.

    • Rising industrialization of Japan and the U.S.

    Correct Answer
    A. The U.S. attack Japan first.
    Explanation
    The correct answer is "The U.S. attack Japan first." This answer is not one of the causes of Japan attacking Pearl Harbor because it is historically inaccurate. The U.S. did not attack Japan before the Pearl Harbor attack. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a preemptive strike by Japan in response to the trade embargo imposed by the U.S. and other tensions between the two countries.
