Japanese declare war on US before attacking Pearl Harbor

I was reading that the American people found it odd that Japan would attack Pearl Harbor without declaring war on the US first. Therefore, I wanted to ask what things would have been like if the Japanese had chosen to declare war on the US first before going ahead with the attack on Pearl Harbor, because the Japanese called the US oil embargo against Japan an act of war and Ambassador Nomura deceived the US diplomatic community into thinking that Japan was committed to peace in the Pacific.

The proposed topic doesn't comply with the What If? rules posted at viewtopic.php?f=11&t=77436, as you were advised previously, so I am locking this thread.
