The date was 7 Dec, 1941. Japan attacked the Pacific Fleet base at Pearl Harbor, Hawaii during an early-morning surprise attack utilizing six aircraft carriers and over 350 aircraft of varying types, the first action to utilize such a large force of naval assets to attack a target at great distance en-masse. The attack was intended to keep the U.S. from intervening in Japan's plans to expand it's reach in the Pacific by attacking and taking over numerous territories.
