Well, that and Japan was actively murdering massive amounts of people in China.

It was a calculated strategy to stop supporting the Japanese genocide machine.

The Rape of Nanjing made international news. That turned the average US voter against Japan, but the embargo (not a blockade) started after Japan invaded French Indochina (Vietnam) in 1940.

The Embargo was just the US saying that no US owned oil would be sold to Japan.
