ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR

The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike conducted by the Imperial Japanese Navy against the United States naval base in Hawaii, on December 7, in 1941. The base was attacked by 353 Japanese fighters, bombers and torpedo planes in two waves. All eight U.S. Navy battleships were damaged, with four being sunk. Of these eight damaged, two were raised, and with four repaired, six battleships returned to service later in the war. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship, and one minelayer. 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,402 Americans were killed and 1,282 wounded. The attack came as a profound shock to the American people and led directly to the American entry into World War II. The following day, the U.S. declared war on Japan. Domestic support for non-interventionism, which had been strong, disappeared. Clandestine support of Britain was replaced by active alliance. Subsequent operations by the U.S. prompted Germany and Italy to declare war on the U.S. on December 11, which was reciprocated by the U.S. the same day.
