Prior to Pearl Harbor; there was a European War and a war in Asia. Pearl Harbor created a GLOBAL WAR when the US entered it.
Without the attack on Pearl Harbor, there would have been only two wars going on: One in Europe, and one in Asia. Pearl Harbor brought the US into the war, making it a GLOBAL WAR.
War in Europe and war in Asia.
attack by japan on pearl harbor
The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor was on December 7, 1941. The US's refusal to allow Japan to run uncontested in East Asia, and the US ownership of the Philippines gave Japan the rational to attack the US, and let the world know, that it feared no nation.
because we were trying to help Asia and then Japan attacked Pearl Harbor
Pretty sure Pearl harbor was attacked by the Japanese in 1947 to prevent the US from influencing the war in south Asia that Japan was planning... unless you know of another attack to specify on?
To prevent the US from interfering in Japan's plans to conquer Asia & the Pacific.
It was really just the one event, Japan's bombing of Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. And Japan was allied with Germany and Italy, together the Axis Powers, so the US went to war with them all. They were afraid because they could be attacked on both sides, from Europe and Asia, which had never before happened.
