What are the long term effects of the Pearl Harbor attacks?

Answer 1

ost of our pacific fleet was destroyed and we were unable to rescue the men in the philipenes ,Guam, and wake island

The short term also included the American people getting behind Roosevelt and the war effort as the declared war upon Japan (Not Germany, a few days later however they were involved in European affairs).

This led to important historical dates like Yalta, battle of Mid way and Hiroshma and nagasaki.

Politcaily before America was not intrested in entering the Second World War because it was seen to be a European affair and they did not wish to see the same amount of damage done to them as they had sustained in the first world war. However after Pearl Harbour (The first terriost attack on American soil) The people got behind the war and America changed its foreign policy to an open one that gave them later on the nickname of police of the world.

Economically America gave Britain industrial support as at this point the United States of America were producing a destroyer boat a day which is an amazing feat. They were also producing loads of food and essential resources. America was taking a lot of the finaccial burden of the war off Britain at this point as they had already been fighting for a couple of years and were finding it tough to support the war effort.

Fact: Britain only in the last few years have finished paying the Americans loans back for the Tanks and other resources lent to them during the war.

There is a saying that America came into this war Late and came out rich which is stateming the point that America became the Super power it is from this point in History.
