The attack on Pearl Harbour forced the U.S. to take action. As a result of Japan's attack, U.S.A. was forced to enter into war against Japan, in order that no more atrocities would happen. This was World War II. U.S.A. also entered into a war against Germany, because Germany and Japan were allied, U.S.A. and Germany were then enemies.

Why was the 1941 Pearl Harbor attack surprise to us?
U.S. officials were certain that an attack was coming but the forces in the Pacific - in and around Pearl Harbor - were depleted as many were brought closer to US shores as they expected a more direct attack than on Pearl Harbor. When the attack came, it was at a time that bombers were being relocated to Pearl from California and the wave of planes seen on the radar was mistaken for those relocating rather than as an enemy force on the attack.
