A US naval base that was attacked by Japan in December of 1941. Strictly speaking, "Pearl Harbor" is the name of the body of water (technically, a lagoon/harbor of the ocean) in the island of Oahu, Hawaii. The city of Honolulu is built on its shores, and the United States has operated a major naval base there since 1887. Historically speaking, the Attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise Japanese aerial assault on 7 Dec 1941 on the U.S. Naval Base, especially the ships of the Pacific Fleet, as well as the nearby U.S. Army airfields of Wheeler and Hickham (plus others on Oahu), with the goal of crippling the U.S. naval presence in the Pacific. Pearl Harbor mate A US Naval base in the former US territory of Hawaii. Hawaii became a state in 1959.
The Japanese navy aimed to incapacitate the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor to prevent American interference in Japan's expansion efforts in Southeast Asia. By delivering a surprise attack, they sought to destroy key naval assets and buy time to secure their territorial gains. This strategic move was intended to establish Japanese dominance in the region and deter the U.S. from retaliating effectively. Ultimately, however, the attack galvanized American resolve and led to the U.S. entering World War II.
The plan was to destroy the American fleet in port, but the primary goal in the fleet were the aircraft carriers. The aircraft carriers were not in port then.
The Japanese wanted to gain land, and therefore natural resources and power during World War II. The Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor so that they could gain control of Hawaii and expand their empire.
