Paper Summary:
This paper explains how Franklin Roosevelt used the US fleet at Pearl Harbor to lure the Japanese away from attacking the Soviet Union and creating a second front against the Soviets which would have made it impossible for them to defend against Nazi Germany.
From the paper:
"After sixty years, the attack on Pearl Harbor still raises serious debate. Despite the common image of an insidious Japanese assault launched against the unwitting American Navy, there is evidence, as presented in class that the infamy of Pearl Harbor actually began long before December 7, 1941. This evidence suggests that Franklin Roosevelt set Pearl Harbor up as a target and enticed the Japanese to attack there."
