The US had been taken surprise when the attacks on Pearl Harbor because previously the Japanese had tries to make peace with the United States but had not officially made peace with America so the Japanese attacked us in the early morning on a Sunday when most troops on guard had off on Sunday. America was attacked by Japan because the Emperor saw America as a nation of pleasure lovers and thought if they attacked the US that they would beg for a peace treaty but as we know now, that didn't work.
The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor was to take the American Carriers out of the war to make the Americans vulnerable to attack.

Pearl harbor attack
half hour
American citizens were outraged that Pearl Harbor had been attacked without warning, killing many loved ones, and any isolationism was shattered. The US would go to war, with ferocity unmatched by any other country.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor during the Second World War took place at the city of Pearl, Oahu, Hawaii, whose harbor was (and still is) a major American naval base.
