Was The Bombing Of Pearl Harbor successful?
The simple answer is no. While the attack itself was largely successful, taking US forces by surprise and sustaining comparatively light Japanese losses, the long term results of the attack did not work in Japan's favor. The attack was intended to disable the American Pacific Fleet which would then allow Imperial Japanese forces to establish and reinforce their holdings in Southeast Asia. Unfortunately for the Japanese, American aircraft carriers stationed at Pearl Harbor were on maneuvers and were not present during the attack--they escaped all damage. This was very upsetting to Japanese military leaders who realized that the attack had failed to destroy these important assets and, thus, the Americans ability to respond would not be delayed as they had hoped. American aircraft carriers, and submarines, proved very effective in destroying both Japanese military and commercial shipping and Japan quickly found itself on the defensive, rather than enjoying the window of opportunity they had hoped to achieve. Additionally, the attack served to mobilize the American public for the war effort. President Roosevelt persuaded a joint session of Congress to declare war on Japan the day after the attack and, within months, many of the ships destroyed at Pearl Harbor had been repaired. With the issuance of defense contracts, industrial production in the US rose to levels that many Japanese military leaders knew they could not match. Later film versions of the attack, produced in the United States, popularized the notion that Japanese Admiral Yamamoto woefully commented, "I fear all we have done is awakened a sleeping giant". However, there has been no historical evidence to confirm that he ever said these words. Nevertheless, there is significant evidence to suggest that Yamamoto--the primary architect of the Pearl Harbor attack--was very doubtful of Japan's ultimate success in engaging in a wider conflict with the United States.

How did US know that japan was going to attack?
The U.S Military intelligence had been monitoring the Japanese military movements and attempting to intercept their messages since 1936 after the Japanese invaded Manchuria. (And on the mainland, the F.B.I. had been monitoring contact between the Japanese-American population to their families in Japan.) The U.S. military knew the Japanese were intending to attack, especially since the U.S. had naval bases spread out in the South Pacific, and therefore understood it was a matter of time, however, no one knew exactly when. Intelligence experts thought the Philippines to be the most likely target.
