Pearl Harbor is located on the island of Oahu, a Hawaiian Island, a US terrirory in 1941. The Japanese attack at Pearl Harbor & other bases on Oahu on December 7, 1941 was a tactical success, but a strategic failure for Japan. Canada was the first nation to officially declare war (on Japan) after the attack. Japan's declaration of war on the United States, Netherlands, and the British Empire (including Commonwealth nations) was not accomplished until many hours after the Pearl Harbor attack.
