How affecive was Pearl Harbor?

Well, for Japan it was wonderful because they wiped a lot of our Navy in one attack. But it also got us involved in WWII, which inevitably wasn't good for Japan. From what I have been taught, the US let Japan attack, which gave the US a reason to join the war. It indirectly led to the end of Hitler's reign and all of Europe, Japan, and the US became Allies.

Should the US have declared war on Germany in 1940 and not waited until after the Pajanese attack on Pearl Harbor?

Germany did NOT want to fight the US. The US needed a cause (reason) to declare war on Germany. Germany was NOT going to enrage the US. The ONLY reason Germany declared war on the US on December 11, 1941 was because Germany was hoping that Japan would reciprocate the favor and attack the USSR (Russia). Germany helps Japan; Japan helps Germany...TRIPARTITE PACT.
