No, the Johnson-Reed Immigration Act of 1924 didn't directly cause Pearl Harbor, but it severely strained U.S.-Japan relations by barring Japanese immigration, fueling Japanese resentment and nationalism, and was seen as a major insult, contributing to the escalating tensions that culminated in the attack, alongside other strategic conflicts like oil disputes and expansionism.
How the Act Contributed:
National Humiliation: The act, especially its explicit exclusion of Japanese immigrants, was viewed in Japan as a profound racial insult, damaging diplomatic relations and strengthening anti-American sentiment.
Rise of Militarism: This indignity fueled nationalist movements and militarists in Japan, who saw U.S. policies as a hostile challenge to Japan's global status, pushing Japan towards more aggressive foreign policies.
Escalating Tensions: It was a key step in a long series of events, including Japanese aggression in Asia and U.S. economic sanctions (like oil embargoes), that created an environment where war seemed inevitable.
The Real Causes of Pearl Harbor:
Strategic Conflicts: Deep disagreements over U.S. and Japanese interests in Asia (e.g., Philippines, China, Dutch East Indies) were primary drivers.
Economic Warfare: U.S. oil embargoes and trade restrictions against Japan's expansionism pushed Japan to desperate measures to secure resources.
Racial Prejudice: Mutual racism, present on both sides, made diplomacy incredibly difficult.
In essence, the 1924 Act was a significant diplomatic blow that exacerbated existing tensions, but Pearl Harbor resulted from a complex web of economic, strategic, and political factors, not just one law.
