4th December 1941 The day after the Japanese attack on pearl harbour
The nuclear bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. Wouldn't you be surprised? The attack on Truk also surprised them quite a bit, rather than an expected attack against the more heavily defended Rabaul. The greatest US surprise for Japan was probably the Doolittle Raid in 1942, especially since Japan was previously thought to be invulnerable from bombing.
The US entered World War 2 on 8 December 1941 - the day after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour.
Negotiations between the US and Japan continued right up to the moment of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941. The Japanese did not declare war formally and did not even notify the US that they were withdrawing from negotiations until after the attack had commenced.
The Japanese entered Singapore via the Causeway from Malaysia. This caught the British off-guard as the British always prepared for a war from the seas.
The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, and the United States entered World War II. They were involved previous to the attack, but they were officially fighting then.
a surprize attack is an attack that the one being attacked is caught off guard. an attack the attackee dont no about.
Survivors were very surprised at the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. For one thing, they had no warning. For another, it was very early on a Sunday morning, so most of the soldiers were still asleep when it happened. Additionally, communications are vital in any war, be it at Antietam or Pearl Harbor. US Naval intelligence had placed Japanese warships, including the ones used at Pearl Harbor, at bay in their home ports near Japan.
