Here's an oldie but goodie.Pearl Harbor what did FDR know and when did he know it? We had several warnings in the months and weeks leading up to the attack but nothing was done to put the fleet on high alert or even get them out to sea.
Various documents were lost or destroyed,also the US had broken the Japanese cypher machine so we have been reading their messages for months at that point.

Every researchable piece of evidence suggests the US provoked Japan into the attack.

Semantics, the world was at war, Japan was a major aggressor in the Asian region, which their expansion through military conquests show.
The US wasn't militarily involved at that time. Itching to? Sure. But not involved in the war, unlike Japan.
