Pearl Harbor didn't make things worse for the allies. Pearl Harbor CAUSED the US Navy to use a better weapon; the aircraft carriers. Had the US Carriers been destroyed at Pearl harbor, the US Navy would have been forced to fight with Battleships. Japanese Carriers would have slaughtered ALL US Battleships at sea! Pearl Harbor brought the US into war with Germany; which is what Roosevelt & Churchill WANTED. Germany declared war on the US on Dec 11, 1941 (in the hopes that Japan would help Germany by opening a second "front" on Russia). Pearl Harbor "United" the US People; which is what Roosevelt wanted.

What is the best moral lesson in pearl harbor movie?
A surprise attack against Pearl Harbor was made by Japan in a preemptive attempt to completely cripple American naval forces. This would allow Japan to continue to expand its influence in the Pacific without "interference" from the United States. As American carriers, the heart of naval might, were out to sea at the time, the attack failed in its major objective. Further, the breaking off of diplomatic relations prior to the attack, which was attempted by the Japanese - but failed - coupled with the unprovoked assault, outraged Americans. Thus thoroughly pissed off, they united for a purpose - kicking the crap out of the Japanese and the Germans. Which they (and their allies) did.
How do you think Japan's entering the war made things worse for the allies?
During World War II, the entry of Japan into the conflict made things worse for the Allies in numerous ways. The additional losses of lives and materials, the need to defend, capture, or recapture additional territory, the threat to sources of important raw materials, and many other additional challenges all came with Japan's aggressive participation in the war on the side of the Axis.

Why did japan destroy the us fleet in the pacific?
No. I'm guessing you mean at Pearl Harbor. The Japanese did considerable damage to the battleships of the Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. At that time major fleet units, capital ships, were battleships and aircraft carriers. The US had fifteen battleships (with ten more building or planned) and seven aircraft carriers, about evenly divided between the Atlantic and Pacific. There were no aircraft carriers in Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. This was extremely lucky for the US. It also forced the US Navy to be innovative. Battleship admirals dominated the Navy, and carrier admirals were mavericks, often considered wild-eyed visionaries. But the carrier turned out to be the dominant type of ship for the Pacific War, and the damage to the US battleships at Pearl Harbor forced the US to depend on them.All eight US battleships assigned to the Pacific Fleet were in Pearl Harbor when the Japanese attacked. All eight were damaged, some only superficially, some heavily. But only two were permanently lost, the USS Arizona and the USS Oklahoma. All the other six were eventually repaired and saw service later during the war. There were about ninety-three US warships in the Harbor at the time if the attack, and about sixteen were sunk or damaged.The Japanese could have made the attack much worse if they had concentrated some of their attack on the drydock in Pearl Harbor, and the submarine base, and especially the fuel farm. If they had destroyed or heavily damaged the fuel farm the Pacific Fleet would have been forced to withdraw to its bases on the west coast of the US, where it had been based until 1940. If they had destroyed the drydock, or even rendered its doors inoperable, it would have made repairing battle damaged ships possible only on the west coast. US submarine sailors made up only 1% of the US Navy's personnel, but they sank 55% of Japanese ships (merchant and naval) sunk during the war. The Japanese did no damage at all to the sub base within Pearl Harbor. And, of course, had they been fortunate to find any of the US carriers in Pearl Harbor when they attacked the course of the war would have been altered heavily in their favor.
What is a description of the Pearl Harbor battle?
Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack by carrier aircraft launched from six aircraft carriers who had closed to within two hundred miles of Hawaii undetected. Most naval authorities had thought an attack by naval aircraft on Pearl Harbor could cause little damage, because the water of the Harbor was believed to be too shallow for torpedo bombers to avoid having the torpedoes they dropped stick in the mud of the harbor bottom, and because the heaviest bombs usually carried by carrier airplanes was a 500 pond bomb, which would not penetrate the armored deck of battleships. The Japanese overcame these problems by much practice at low-level torpedo bombing and by fitting their torpedoes with wooden fins which added buoyancy, so they were able to torpedo-bomb successfully. The Japanese also used other torpedo bombers as high level bombers, and equipped these with 2000 pound armor-piercing battleship shells fitted with bomb fins, which when dropped from several thousand feet did penetrate the armored deck of battleships, one of which exploded the ship's magazines of the USS Arizona and destroyed it. The Japanese were able to do significant damage to the battleships of the US Pacific fleet, though eventually all but two of these battleships were repaired and saw service later in the war. The Japanese were unlucky in that none of the US aircraft carriers were in the harbor when they attacked. The Japanese could have made the attack much worse had they attacked the dry-dock gates, the submarine base in the harbor, and especially the fuel farm, but they ignored all these valuable targets. Destruction of the fuel farm would have forced the US Pacific Fleet back over 2000 miles to its bases on the west coast of the US. The Japanese fleet lost only 29 aircraft in the attack and got away still undetected.
