This excerpt from Japan's '14-Part' Message depicts the diplomatic standpoint of the Japanese government which was not at all in favor of American government. The code was sent to the American embassy and decrypted on December 6th, 1941. It indicates that the negotiations made between America and Japan could further no longer. It was an effect of the oil embargo put into action by the American government in order to stop Japan. The Japanese government was freeing itself from the American government and perhaps preluding a war. Since this message was directly sent to America, it is possible to say that knowing this information was inevitably linked to the attack on Pearl Harbor the next day. Without taking action and responding to the 14-Part message, Roosevelt could have been awaiting the attack on Pearl Harbor in order to enter World War II.
 * //The Japanese Government regrets to have to notify hereby the American Government that in view of the attitude of the American Government it cannot but consider that it is impossible to reach an agreement through further negotiations.// ||

This quote from Franklin Roosevelt’s Pearl Harbor Speech reveals that Roosevelt was using the attacks on Pearl Harbor in order to gain respect from the public. He told the people this so they would feel patriotism for America. More people to agree with him wanting revenge on the Japanese meant a higher chance of becoming involved in World War II. The use of the words “grave” and “hostilities” makes the tragedy of Pearl Harbor sink in further to the listener. Roosevelt’s speech proves the attacks on Pearl Harbor were allowed and the speech was used to gain the vote from America.

__10 Facts__

 * On December 7th, 1941, the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. President Roosevelt had been intercepting the Japanese codes overseas as early as October of 1940.
 * Robert Stinnett was a journalist who had served in the navy during the Pacific War and researched the fleet tracking of Japanese movements as early as one year before the attacks on Pearl Harbor.
 * By placing an embargo on Japanese oil, America provoked an economic falling in Japan; thus, angering the Japanese and knowing that was essential in understanding the attacks of Pearl Harbor were expected by the American government.
 * Around January of 1941, the American government reports that an attack might be possible. Roosevelt took no action to resist the terrorism and instead awaited the attacks.
 * The American government ordered a boy on a bike to deliver the Japanese attack threats which was received too late for an act of defense to be made.
 * The day after the attack, Roosevelt declared war on Japan which in turn made the Axis Powers declare war on America. This brought America into World War II.
 * The American Government had known of mysterious ships off the coast of Hawaii before the attack and had done nothing to uncover the identity of the ships because we had known all along who they were.
 * Joining the war would give Roosevelt the ability to stop Hitler before he attacked the U.S. and that would keep America safer. Only this would allow the Japanese to bomb Pearl Harbor and kill hundreds.
 * Cases were held to determine the conspiracy theories behind the inside intelligence behind Pearl Harbor. Some were lost because of the lack of evidence including some records like the British and Dutch resources from diplomatic sources.
 * In hopes to decrease war materials productions, the American Government ceases negotiations between Japan. The embargo was devised to bring Japan into contact with the Axis Powers which would in turn bring them into WWII.
