Best Answer

The United States responded with a strong reaction and began to prepare for war faster than they expected. They seemed to think that the attack would cripple the United States giving them time to complete their invasion/focus of the Pacific. Roosevelt expected them to attack the Philippines and it was a surprise when they hit Pearl, but the Japanese underestimated the reaction from the United States and England.
