While the attack on Pearl Harbor kickstarted the war with the U.S., Imperial Japan simultaneously attacked a number of other countries within days. Which wasn't on Japan's immediate to-do list?

At the same time that Japan attacked the U.S. naval base at Pearl Harbor, they also attacked U.S. military facilities in Guam on December 8, 1941. Wait, there's more. Unsatisfied with these two strikes, Japan simultaneously bombed the Philippines, Wake Island, Malaya, Thailand, Midway, and Shanghai within a single day. They would get to the Korean peninsula later, but for now, they were set.
