A similar incident occurred in July 2021, when a 5-year-old boy died after being left behind in a nursery school bus in Nakama, Fukuoka Prefecture.

Very good, could you perhaps give some info on why Japan tried to bomb pearl harbor?<|im_end|>
<|im_start|>assistant
Japan launched a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaii on December 7, 1941 with the intention of disabling the US Pacific Fleet so that Japan could freely pursue its territorial expansion in Asia without fear of US intervention. Japan saw the US as a major obstacle to its imperialistic ambitions, and believed that a preemptive strike on the US would give it the time and advantage it needed to achieve its goals. The attack on Pearl Harbor was a decisive event that led the US to enter World War II.<|im_end|>
