Although it was not depicted in the film, Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto was against a war against the U.S. Having attended Harvard, traveled widely across the U.S., and becoming familiar with Americans, he was aware that America had an enormous manufacturing capacity and if it were to be used for manufacturing war materials, there was no country that could compare or compete with it. When ordered to prepare for war against the U.S., he determined that the best option would be to destroy the Pacific fleet and then use the threat of further warfare in order to secure a negotiated peace. As acknowledged by Yamamoto, the fact that the Japanese ultimatum was not presented until after the attack had taken place meant that there would be no possibility of a negotiated peace. Considering the outrage on the part of the Americans, he estimated that Japan would have the advantage for the first year or so of the conflict, but its ultimate defeat was inevitable.
