Why was Pearl Harbor an important?

Answer 1

Because it knocked out most of the American Pacific fleet at the time, thus allowing the Japanese -TIME- to expand into the Pacific without having to worry about US naval reaction.

Remember, they also knocked out the British fleet in the Pacific at the same time they were doing Pearl Harbor.

The Japanese however failed because of the fact that the US carriers were NOT at the time present at Pearl Harbor during the attack. If this would've happened, the Japanese would've have had serveral more months of movement in the Pacific.

Why?

Because at the time, it took LOTS OF MONTHS to build a new ship.

Pearl Harbor was important because it was the site at which Japanese naval action brought the US into World War 2. Despite Japanese efforts to ensure that war was declared 30 minutes in advance of the surprise attack, communications in Washington DC between diplomats were delayed and the attack came before war was declared. This enraged the US population and ensured a war to "unconditional surrender."
