It was December 8 in Japan, because Japan is on the other side of the International Date Line from Hawaii.

And no, they do not. The Japanese have tried to sweep the ugly facts of the history of their effort to conquer Asia and the western Pacific under the rug. Its barely mentioned in Japanese schools. They are PROUD of their war criminals, whose names are included in the Yasakuni Shrine. One who ate an Australian flier's liver served in the cabinet, and dozens have served in the Japanese parliament. The Emperor was the biggest war criminal unhung.

About all most Japanese are told in school about their war for empire is that somehow in there, they were the VICTIMS of the big, bullying US in the world's only nuclear attacks. So, the date they remember is August 7. (Hiroshima was on August 6 in the US).

And US education seems to be coming around to the Japanese point of view, that the evil Americans made victims of those poor, pitiful little Japanese. Ignorance reigns supreme.
