In response to the attack, the US declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941. This marked the official entry of the US into World War II.

The only direct military retaliation took place while the Japanese were overrunning the Philippines in early 1942. This was the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo, which took place on April 18, 1942. A lone US carrier made an extraordinary launch of 16 large B-25 bombers on a symbolic bombing attack, which nonetheless had the desired effect of influencing the way Japanese forces were arrayed in the western Pacific.
