Why did japan attack the u. s. at pearl harbor?

i know it had to do something about the U.S. doing some embargoing i think

all i know is they felt threatened so they attacked a spot where they thought was the closes to the U.S. I'm not really sure im just trying my best, sorry if it was no help.

the intolerable acts were punitive laws passed by the british parliament in 1774 after the boston tea party. in great britain, these laws were referred to as the coercive acts.
