Japan's Imperial Navy had defeated the Russian Battleship Fleet at Tsushima in May of 1905. Historically, this naval battle was significant in three ways: 1. It proved to Great Britain, that the new battleship design that they intended to approve for construction, was now valid, and the new "HMS Dreadnaught" was laid down in October 1905, just three months after "The Battle of Tsushima." HMS Dreadnaught launched a new arm's race, which would ultimately lead to WWI, less than ten years later. 2. It was an eye opener for the West. As it was the first time since Ghengis Khan, that an Eastern nation had defeated a Western nation in war. 3. The United States now had a "New Threat" in the Pacific, and now had to have TWO naval fleets to protect itself, instead of just the one fleet stationed on the east US coast. In 1907/1908 US President Teddy Roosevelt sent the US Navy's "Great White Fleet" around the world on a peace tour. Designed specically to show Japan that the US Navy was a powerful foe...just in case they had any ideas.
What happened between the years 1994 and 2008?
America was forced to respond to the attack. President Franklin D. Roosevelt went before congress to ask that a state of war be declared between the US and Japan.
the attack on pearl harbor.
There was only one reason that America became involved in World War II and that was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour on 7th December 1941. If that attack hadn't happened, the US would probably not have become involved because US public opinion at the time was that the existing fighting was a 'European War' and nothing to do with America.
America not 'save the Jews from Hitler's attack'. The Holocaust was not some sentimental B-movie with a happy ending.
America started to attack the german first, they attack the airport without any reason. America killed the ruler of the germany. That leads the World War 2

War was declared by America against Japan for the attack. A few days later, Hitler, as an ally of Japan, declared war against America. This brought America officially into the war on the British and Allies side.

The World Trade Center Attack. Electrical Cars. Flat screen Tvs existed way before that.
They used the old sneak attack method.
Maybe because it was a sneak attack?
America attacked Japan because of the sneak attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. America was talking to Japan about peace when this occured and afterwards the U.S. launched a sneak attack on Japan and bombed Tokyo which showed that America was going to war against Japan.
