What was the major turning point of pearl harbor?
Since the battle that occurred at Pearl Harbor on December 7th of 1941 was a one-sided affair, it is difficult to identify a turning-point within it. Prior to the battle, however, it may be said that the American failure to believe its own radar report (of a large fleet of planes arriving over Hawaii) was a cause of the tremendous Japanese victory. On the other hand, the failure of the Japanese to destroy the oil facilities at Pearl Harbor enabled the U.S. to keep its navy stationed in Hawaii, which was a kind of "turning-point" for the Battle of Midway soon to come.
Why were so many ships in pearl harbor?
The origins of the tension between the US and Japan, which ultimately led to the attack on Pearl Harbor, dates back to the early part of the 20th Century. In summary: In response to Japan's declaration of war on China, which occurred in 1937, and then in 1940, further advancing their troops into northern Indo-China, the US demanded that Japan withdraw from China. Japan refused the demands of the US. In July, 1941 after Japan had refused to withdraw from China, the US, (who supplied Japan with approximately 80% its oil resources, and many of the country's other resources) imposed a complete oil embargo on Japan. This decision, and event is what triggered Japan to attack Pearl Harbor. The reason Pearl Harbor was chosen, as point of target, was, in May of 1940, the US Navy had moved its US Fleet headquarters from San Pedro, California, to Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. Ironically, the move was a planned one on President Roosevelt's part, to counter Japan's increasing maneuvers and presence in the South Pacific. This decision, and the United States' under estimation of the ability of Japan's military to successfully attack the Navy's fleet at Pearl Harbor, was critical to Japan's successful plan and attack.
