Japan knew where to attack Pearl Harbor because due to recent research the japanses knew where and when the would attack.
Yes, the code was already broken right before the attack on Pearl Harbor even started. President Roosevelt already knew about the Japanese was going to attack Pearl Harbor, but he didn't know for sure if it was true.

i really dont know.
They intercepted a mesage from Japan to its naval fleet.
Pretty sure Pearl harbor was attacked by the Japanese in 1947 to prevent the US from influencing the war in south Asia that Japan was planning... unless you know of another attack to specify on?
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor destroyed an entire fleet of American battleships. However, the targets that the Japanese sought to destroy were not present. Did you know that the Japanese had intended on destroying American Carriers?
No. From what I know, Adolf Hitler did not have anything to do with Pearl Harbor except for the fact that he is one of the causes of World War II which then caused the Japanese to attack us with a long history behind it. Did_Hitler_have_anything_to_do_with_the_attack_at_Pearl_Harbor
Naval Intelligence.
it was an unexpected suprise attack
Can't Believe you don't know this but. The Attack on Pearl Harbor by the Japanese caused the US to join WW2
No, but this claim has been in place by Roosevelt's detractors since the late 1940's.
The US government knew the Japanese were going to attack the US and assume that the attack would take place at Pearl Harbor. The US Navy had been practicing for the attack for 20 + years. The surprise of the attack included the time of the attack (a Sunday morning when most US sailors were on leave or hung over from drinking the night before), the Japanese new low angle torpedo (US Navy didn't know Japan had it and assumed that battleship were safe in the harbor).
There is a story the British did know by interception of Japanese signals... I cannot say if there is any truth in it. It would appear the US was completely surprised.
