Answer 3

The attack on Pearl Harbour affected the outcome of World War II because this now brought in another power house country. The United States were wanting to stay out of oversea affairs but with this sudden attack it gave President Roosevelt no choice but to enter the war. When Pearl Harbor was bombed the United States immediately declared war against Japan. The resources (soldiers, weapons, transporation, food, fuel and just about anything else you can think of) to operate the military were spread a little thin because of the necessity to fight on TWO fronts. Had we not been required to fight in the Pacific AND Europe, either war would have gone much faster. The Japanese leadership wanted to fight a weakened foe, that's why they tried to conquer the Pacific while the rest of the world was fighting elsewhere. The attack on Pearl Harbor brought the United States from the sidelines into the actual conflict. Obviously this pushed the American army against the Japanese, but it also added American troops to the allied conflict in Europe. It would be years, 4 years of course, before the full impact of American involvement would lead to the Allied victory. That's maybe a simplified answer, but it's pretty straightforward. It caused the U.S. to declare war on Japan, and rallied the American people behind the war effort. It led to the ultimate total defeat of Japan. The attack on Pearl Harbour resulted approximately 2,000 American deaths. One day after the attack, the United States declared war on Japan. All six of the Japanese Aircraft Carriers which were involved with the attack were sunk by the Americans. The U.S. immediately declared war on Japan, which led to many deaths. There were multiple sea battles, bombing raids and ultimately it led to the dropping of two bombs, one on Hiroshima and the other on Nagasaki, ending the war. Pearl Harbour did greatly effect the out come of the war. It brought in one of the most powerful nations, the United States. The allies desperatly need the the U.S.' man power and troops. Once American entered the war, they started off slow. But by 1942 the allies were in full swing. Also the Americans thought the attack on Pearl Harbour was out pure hatred. They were thriving to avenge Pearl Harbour.

Answer 4

Most every adult and historian knows that Pearl Harbor is what brought the US into WW2. What MOST people don't know, and many historians appear to by-pass, is the fact that the Pearl Harbor attack directly benefited the United States, by causing the US to concentrate on the one weapon that won WW2 (besides the A-Bomb)...the Aircraft Carrier. Had those US Battleships NOT been sunk at Pearl Harbor, the US Navy would've lost them at the Battle of Savo Island, the Battle of the Java Sea, or the Battle of the Coral Sea, or Midway...etc. Admiral Nimitz himself stated, "...it's a good thing they (the battleships) weren't sunk at sea, they couldn't have been salvaged there..." Had those US Battleships NOT been sunk at Pearl Harbor, the US Navy would've relied on the proven "Battleships"...and probably not have concentrated on building Aircraft Carriers. Traditionally, the US Military uses what they have. Had the battleship equipped US Navy engaged the Carrier equipped Imperial Navy at Coral Sea and Midway...it would have been a one way slaughter, with the USN on the receiving end. Constant US losses at sea would have changed the course of the war; longer, deadlier, costlier.

Answer 5

The attack on Pearl Harbor did change the world in many ways. Remember in science class when you were told that every action has a reaction? Let's start from the beginning. On the morning of December 7, 1941 the Japanese Imperial Army attacked Pearl Harbor. Tora tora tora was the attack code, which in Japanese means tiger, tiger, tiger. Here is a little known fact, that while in flight to pearl harbor the Japanese fleet passed a group of escort b17 bombers that were stripped of their weapons (to save fuel) and were told to keep strict radio silence. Pearl Harbor was attacked in two waves, the Japanese originally planned on three waves but by the time the third wave was set to attack the Americans were starting to fight back. Miller, an African American cook who was aboard one of the battle ships was the first African American in American history to receive a silver star. He, amongst all the chaos, began shooting down Japanese zeros when they invaded. Another little known fact, the USS Nevada was attacked but survived. While under fire it maneuvered to Hospital Point, a beach now called Nevada Point. Later the USS Nevada was retired at sea. It took seven torpedoes and one a bomb to sink it. The USS Arizona and the USS Utah is now a national memorial and can be visited. The USS Arizona still leeks oil, it is said to be crying. The USS Utah is the forgotten memorial as it isn't visited as often as the USS Arizona. Here is one more little known fact, Japan invaded Alaska during WWII as well. There is still artillery sitting outside in the Allusion Islands.

Answer 6

Pearl Harbor brought the United States into World War II. It also brought the United States out of the Great Depression as the nation put many people back to work for the war effort. It also changed how Americans thought of the Japanese, and it provoked the dropping of atomic bombs onto Hiroshima and Nagasaki. In turn, America ended up helping rebuild Japan and introducing principles that helped them to become successful people.

Answer 7

The bombing of Pearl Harbor basically caused United States to enter the war both against Japan, and because of a German declaration of war, against Italy and Germany. This made it more likely that the war would end with German and Japanese defeat sooner rather than later.

Answer 9
