French Indochina in an effort to embargo all imports into China, including war supplies purchased from the U.S.. We also provided significant military supplies and other assistance to the allies , but the attack on Pearl Harbor was to prevent the Pacific Fleet from interfering with the Japanese conquest of the Dutch East Indies and Malaya and ultimately obtain access to oil in Southeast Asia. Your assertion that Roosevelt initiated the embargo as a way to enter the war is disenginous imo
