Japan strategically gained control all over the Western Pacific. They gained power over Guam, the Solomon Islands, the Dutch East Indies (Indonesia), New Guinea, and the Philippines. Australia was at risk of being invaded too.

∙ 9y agoIn the months after bombing Pearl Harbor, the Japanese took offensive action throughout the Pacific Ocean and even beyond. They invaded the American-held islands of Wake and Guam. They invaded the Philippines, as well as the Dutch-controlled territories of Borneo and Java. They overwhelmed the British defenders of Singapore while also invading New Guinea and making invasive moves towards Australia. While striking into Burma, they also sent a carrier fleet just east of India to harass British naval forces.

Did Pearl Harbor last a year?
The attack, a year? More like a couple of hours max. I doubt the Japanese could have been bombing a few ships for 12 months. Common sense here.
What day was Pearl Harbor attacked during World War 2?
yes, the date of the bombing was December 7, 1941. this was a very tragic time for the United States and the country that bombed Pearl Harbor was Japan. Japan has planned to bomb Pearl Harbor a full year before and practiced bombing them foe several months.
Was there any special planning of the bombing of pearl harbor?
Yes. Peal Harbor was not very deep. The torpedo bombers had to train how to drop a torpedo such that it would not go too deep and hit the bottom. The Japanese had an device on the fin that helped it return to the top. The US Navy did not solve this problem for a few more months. They also practiced viewing through a replica bomb sight so they could get familiar with the out line of the harbor and the shapes of the battleships and aircraft carriers.
Why were the Japanese so successful in the 6 months after pearl harbor?
Japan and Germany had prepared for war. The rest of the world had to "react" to it and were not as prepared as they should have been.
How many days in advance did America tell Japan that we were going to bomb them?
We gave the same warning they gave us before bombing Pearl Harbor - none. We started bombing them within a few months of the Pearl Harbor attack. Look for information on Doolittle's Raid. Now if you mean how much warning did we give them that we were going to use the atomic bomb, again the answer is none. We were at war and had been bombing them for several years. They were beaten and had been given the opportunity to surrender, but refused to do so until we demonstrated our ability to totally eliminate their homeland.

What happened after the bombing of Pearl Harbor What did the US do after the bombing of Pearl Harbor?
After the air raid by Japan on Pearl Harbor in December 1941 The American Pacific Fleet was decimated, and although A number of Air Craft Carriers remained, very little allied force was able to stand strong against the Japanese Empire. Until the end of the European war, the Pacific war, was nothing but a hinderence to the Japanese, who attacked and held a good majority of the islands south of Japan toward Australia. After Germany had surrendered, American and British forces moved to the pacific to backup, and eventually control Australian forces in a MASSIVE counter attack against the japanese. Within a few months the Japanese had been pushed back within flight distance of Japan, at which point fire bombing missions were carried out daily on Japanese Cities attacking a majority Civilian populous. In the end of the war in 1945, America finished the war, by Dropping two nuclear bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, one a Uranium bomb called 'Little Boy' and the second a Plutonium bomb nick named 'Fat Boy'. Again, these nuclear explosives where dropped on cities, as apposed to Japan's attacks on majority military targets. Over 2 million Japanese Civilians died in the Nuclear blasts alone, 1000 times that killed in pearl harbor. The dragon could rest.

What did America do to retaleate after pearl Harbor?
In response to the attack, the US declared war on Japan on December 8, 1941. This marked the official entry of the US into World War II. The only direct military retaliation took place while the Japanese were overrunning the Philippines in early 1942. This was the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo, which took place on April 18, 1942. A lone US carrier made an extraordinary launch of 16 large B-25 bombers on a symbolic bombing attack, which nonetheless had the desired effect of influencing the way Japanese forces were arrayed in the western Pacific.
