In 1919, Yamamoto departed for the United States where he spent the next two years studying the oil industry at Harvard University.

Throughout his career, Yamamoto had opposed many of Japan's military adventures, such as the invasion of Manchuria and the ongoing war with China. In addition, he was vocal in his opposition to any war with the United States, and delivered the official apology for the sinking of USS Panay in 1937. These stances made the admiral very unpopular with the pro-war factions in Japan, many of which put bounties on his head.

Following the signing of the Tripartiate Pact with Germany and Italy, Yamamoto warned Premier Fumimaro that if he were forced to fight the United States he expected to have success for no more than six months to a year. After that time, nothing was guaranteed.

After the Pearl Harbor attack Yamamoto said, "I fear we have awakened a sleeping giant and filled him with a terrible resolve."
