Theorists believe that President Franklin Roosevelt provoked the Japanese attack on the US naval base in Hawaii in December 1942, knew about it in advance and covered up his failure to warn his fleet commanders. He apparently needed the attack to provoke Hitler into declaring war on the US because the American public and Congress were overwhelmingly against entering the war in Europe. Theorists believe that the US was warned by the governments of Britain, the Netherlands, Australia, Peru, Korea and the Soviet Union that a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor was coming and that, furthermore, the Americans had intercepted and broken all the important Japanese codes in the run up to the attack.

Thoughts?

Franklin Roosevelt didnt want war and the Japanese used a fake time of peace to move their aircraft carriers and basically a whole fleet and it happened in 1941 and America didn't declare war on Germany. Hitler declared war on America

I don't think this is a theory because I think he openly admitted it back then. Pretty sure he moved most of the ships to Midway by then and that's why only a couple ships were lost.

According to a history channel story there were japanese radio communications that spoke of an attack on pearl harbor that were intercepted by americans, the news got as high up to rooselvelt but he told them to stand down and disregard them. Crazy shit u should check it out.

A whole fleet was lost. Japan only hit the strongest Navy in the world where it hurts.

I think that is was more or less a scare tactic. But the Japanese weren't having any of it .-.
