Japan's only real chance is that the US would just decide the war wasn't worth it and would just concede to Japan.. However a sneak attack on Pearl Harbor wasn't the way to get the US to lower its resolve. There are a lot of similarities between Japan and WW2 and the Confederacy in the Civil war. Neither had the industrial capacity to win - they both needed to have their opponent just "give up and let them go"

I see similarities between Germany and Japan though the resource-industrial gap was more severe in Japan. Both had a kind of first strike emphasis, and less reliance and ability in logistics. This "we'll win quickly" psychology seemed to be baked in the leadership cake.
