Pearl Harbor

by mannyrocha8

Is there any evidence that FDR actually knew that Pearl Harbor was going to happen as an excuse to get into WWII?

Here are two previous threads on the topic in case nobody has more information.

I've always wondered this: did FDR know, or even just suspect, that the Japanese would attack the U.S.? If so, how much did he know (when, where, etc.)?

Was there any previous knowledge of Pearl Harbor?

The short answer from these threads is no, FDR did not know in advance about Pearl Harbor. While war was clearly on the horizon, an attack on Hawaii was not expected.
