The correct answer is "Cut-off oil sales to Japan."

What the United States did that led to Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor was that the US cut-off oil sales to Japan.

At the end of July ad the beginning of August 1941, the United States federal government imposed an embargo on oil and gas exported to Japan. In those years, almost 75 to 80% of oil came from America. So this decision really affected Japan that depended too much on oil.

This was a major cause for the beginning of the war with Japan because, in December 1941, the Japanese Air Force attacked the United States Navy base in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.

After the attack, US President Franklin D. Roosevelt asked Congress for a declaration of war, and that is how the US entered World War II.

the berlin blockade was an international crisis that arose from an attempt by the soviet union, in 1948–49, to force the western allied powers (the united states, the united kingdom, and france) to abandon their post-world war ii jurisdictions in west berlin. in march 1948 the allied powers decided to unite their different occupation zones of germany into a single economic unit. in protest, the soviet representative withdrew from the allied control council. coincident with the introduction of a new deutsche mark in west berlin (as throughout west germany), which the soviets regarded as a violation of agreements with the allies, the soviet occupation forces in eastern germany began a blockade of all rail, road, and water communications between berlin and the west. on june 24 the soviets announced that the four-power administration of berlin had ceased and that the allies no longer had any rights there.
