Japan bombed Pearl Harbor, Hawaii first. Later the US was able to have revenge and they bombed Japan.
America would no longer be able to resist Japanese expansion.

There were many acts of heroism in the defense of Pearl Harbor. Several aircraft managed to launch and attack the flights of aircraft. Some anti-aircraft batteries were also able to get manned and were able to shoot down some of the Japanese.
Pearl Harbor came as a surprise to the U.S., so Roosevelt was able to do nothing about it.
During a time when the U.S. and Japan were supposed to be having peace talks, Japanese airplanes attacked the U.S. ships that were at anchor in Pearl Harbor. The Japanese wanted to control all of the Pacific, so they told their people that citizens of the United States were too genetically impure to be able to endure the kind of war that Japan would bring.
No. The reason that Japan attacked Pearl Harbor was because they were worried that the gigantic US Pacific Fleet would try to halt their expansion to other islands. they wanted to deal a crippling blow so the US wouldn't be able to interfere. Unfortunately for Japan, they didn't destroy every ship, and the USS Enterprise was not at Pearl Harbor so it wasn't affected in anyway. The USS Enterprise was the main ship that led to the downfall of the Japanese Navy.
The Allies (USA, Canada, Britain, Soviet Union etc.) agreed to pool their resources and fight the Axis powers as a joint operation. Because of the greater industrial output of the USA and the increased manpower, the Allies were able to make inroads towards defeating the enemy which hadn't been possible before.
Because Pearl Harbor was only one military base in the US out of 737 total. The attack on Pearl Harbor killed 2390 people. The US military has over one million enlisted personnel. It would be like removing one bee from a bee hive and wondering why you still got stung by the other bees.
Pearl Harbor was one battle. The most important facts were the USA aircraft carriers weren't there and the Japanese weren't able to attack them, so the carriers led the way to victory against the Japan. Also, Japan only launched two air strikes against the bases at Pearl Harbor. If they had launched a third, they could have bombed the oil reserves, the dry docks, and the submarine pens, and further hurt the USA ability to strike back.
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was on December 7, 1941. The US's refusal to allow Japan to run uncontested in East Asia, and the US ownership of the Philippines gave Japan the rational to attack the US, and let the world know, that it feared no nation.
After bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki conditions were very bad, thousands were in intence medical care. it was japans great depression, but with donations from US and great Britan, japan was able to recover.
