What happened after Pearl Harbor was bombed?

Answer 1

The President and Congress of the United States declared war on Japan within hours.

AnswerThe United States Congress immediately declared war and started preparation for the attacks on Japan. Since they attacked during the middle of reassuring us that they would not, we were caught unprepared, and much of our Pacific Fleet was damaged. It took a little time to prepare, but once the military was in motion, the attack on the Japanese was relentless. The eventual blockade of Japan resulted in far more starvation, freezing to death and disease than did the bombings on Hiroshima and Nagasaki

What happened was United States declared war the next day. WWII started.

and they put Japanese in internment camps

AnswerThe United States broke their policy of isolationism (staying out of European affairs) and entered Wold War II.
Japan continued it's advance across Asia and the Pacific.

Answer 2

The leader of the Pearl Harbor attack was quoted as saying that he feared that they have awaken the sleeping dragon. And that is exactly what happened. The unprovoked attack on Pearl Harbor, as well as American facilities in the Far East, caused an uproar among the American civilians. Previously the US held a position of isolation and neutrality. After the President declared war, many young Americans immediately enlisted in the Army & Navy.

Answer 3

Basically, 4 battleships and 2 destroyers were lost during Pearl Harbor, which critically damaged the US fleet and it's influence in the Pacific.after that, the Japanese quickly took many of the islands owned by the US in the Pacific. 200 military aircraft-most on the ground-were lost during Pearl Harbor. Japan only lost a handful of aircraft. Under Captain Homer N. Wallin, salvage operations began soon after Pearl Harbor, and many of the battleships were fixed and ready for combat. American oil supplies remained intact, along with repair facilities which were never touched, therefore helping the US Navy back onto its feet soon after Peael Harbor. The Japanese also missed a critical objective. Of the 3 carriers based at Pearl Harbor, all of them were out at sea at the time of the attack by pure chance and weren't pursued by the Imperial Japanese Navy after Peal Harbor. That enabled the US fleet to strike back quickly, and with ferocity that cannot be matched to this day.
