The sanctions the US imposed on Japan initially in 1940 were minimal, involving items like scrap metal rather than essential raw materials like oil. What brought on the full embargo was when Japan decided to establish a "protectorate" over the French Indo-China, basically taking it over. This the US initially protested, then on July 25 1941 announced the limitation of oil exports to Japan and the freezing of Japanese assets in the US.
