If you mean Pearl Harbor, then because they hoped a decisive blow against the US Pacific Fleet would cripple the US militarily and destroy American morale, leaving the Japanese unopposed in their Pacific conquests.
America

@Ryderbike You ripped the US for killing civilians and now it has [quote]nothing to do with our discussion
[/quote]??

Do you have any working brain cells left, kid?
@DCarey what does your comment have to do with America nuking civilians?

Show me the connection.

The gist is that it was in order to continue their war against China, because it was politically unfeasible for them to pull out of China (which is what America was demanding in exchange for lifting the oil embargo on Japan). Japan had a limited amount of fuel reserves for its large navy, and believed that America would eventually go to war with Japan, and so decided that if that was the case, that they should strike first and decisively and then try to hold out in a war of attrition.
