The paper argues that it is possible to provide a partial explanation especially in cognitive, sociological and psychological terms for the fact that the US – Japan negotiations prior to Pearl Harbor in 1941 failed the way they did. The analysis seeks to show in detail how the role of mistranslations of some of the Japanese coded instructions which were sent from Tokyo by Foreign Minister Togo to Ambassador Nomura in Washington, D.C., and intercepted and decoded by the US military sigint personnel contributed to the failure of the negotiations, thereby making the December 1941 events at Pearl Harbor virtually unavoidable.
