Let's see, if memory serves, they pretty much destroyed the base at Pearl Harbor(well that's a no brainer!). I believe they sank seven of our Battleships, (The Arizona, still containing most of her crew is on permanent display there) and many others almost completely disabling out Navy. Luckily our Aircraft Carriers weren't there at the time and so survived. They destroyed many hundreds of aircraft and killed... I'm not sure, a thousand and something men I think. This one act did three things. First, it brought us into WW2. Second, it very nearly dealt the US a mortal wound. If the rest of out fleet had been there, Japan could conceivably have defeated us. Three... well, let me quote Japan's Admiral Yamamoto. When asked what he thought about the attack on Pearl Harbor he was quoted in part as saying, "... I think we have awakened a sleeping giant." Point blank, Japan's attack brought forth an almost inconceivable amount of hatred against them. A hatred against which it was impossible to stand. God Bless America.
AnswerDo you mean Besides sinking the Pacific fleet? Isn't that enough?Answer
The quote is "I fear that all we did was awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with terrible resolve."

What are the different sides to the bombing of Pearl Harbor?
Different sides? There are no different sides. Japan planned and executed an attack on the American Naval Base at Pearl Harbor.
What do pearl harbor and Iwo Jima have in common?
D-Day was a landing of Allied troops onto the shores of France (France was occupied by Germany). Much like the landings in the Pacific...Guam, Saipan, Guadalcanal, Iwo Jima, Okinawa, Leyte, etc. Pearl Harbor was NOT a landing. It was an aerial attack; the enemy struck...then departed.
Which countries were involved in Pearl Harbor?
This depends on your point of view and the politics of the day. At the time of the attack on Pearl Harbour, America had various treaties with Great Britain as allies. Great Britain had a treaty with Japan, and Germany had a treaty with America (America was not happy with this treaty when the Nazis took over Germany). But America had no military treaty with Japan but they were trading together. Obviously, America's treaty with Britain was still valid but America could not get involved in the war for a number of valid reasons. America had no official political argument with Nazi Germany and although the U.S. made her position against Germany's actions clear, the U.S. could not get involved at that time. Once the attack started, the U.S. was too busy (and quite rightly so) trying to sort out the situation and get help to her citizens to be able to define political friends and enemies. Once the situation had 'crystallised' and the various politicians (from all sides) could draw breath , the 'Allies' during WWII were known as follows: Great Britain (this included her former colonies and dominions such as Canada, Australia, New Zealand, B.W.I. South Africa, India and so on and on and on...) France, Russia and The United States of America. Now these were the main 'Allies' as one hears about in movies and books and so on. Of course prior to 1941, 'The Allies' did not include U.S.A. nor Russia. France was actually split for political and occupation reasons and Italy was with Germany until changing sides to the 'Allies' around '43. Germany and Japan did not have any treaty or agreement until after 1941. From 1939 to 1943 Germany, Vichy France (the half of France that was occupied) and Italy were known by history as the Axis Powers. Japan later officially joined them although there was an 'understanding' prior to this time. Politics is a very difficult thing sometimes as a country must sometimes be friends with a former enemy and enemies with a former friends. Take a look back at Britain/America, Britain/Japan, America/Japan, Britain/China. Britain as the former superpower has made friends of enemies and enemies of friends many times over. America has now taken over the role of the world's policeman and it is not an easy job. We should all really look at our various histories and current situations.

Did America use the atomic bomb to get back at japan for bombing pearl harbor?
No, there was only one reason that America used the atomic bomb. To cause Japan to surrender. The only other way to get Japan to surrender was to invade the country with infantry, and having seen how stubborn the Japanese fighters were at the little islands they defended in the Pacific, Americans knew that the loss of life on both sides would be horrific. To save American fighting men's lives, they decided to drop the bomb. If Japan had surrendered immediately, America would not have dropped the second bomb.
What are the different sides to the bombing of Pearl Harbor?
Different sides? There are no different sides. Japan planned and executed an attack on the American Naval Base at Pearl Harbor.
Did the United States and Japan ever mend after the attack on Pearl Harbor?

What were the goals of the two sides at pearl harbor?
Japan: Eliminate the Battlefleet; US: Preserve the Battlefleet.
What made Pear Harbor worse?
The deaths of so many on both sides. The fear of attack and the constant threat of attack. -Round Rupert
Why did the us fight at Pearl Harbor?
Pearl Harbor was a major US Naval base in the Pacific. It was the location of most of the US Pacific Fleet and all of the capital ships were in port and tied up that morning. It was a sneak attack of a US naval base and not a fight. A fight is when both sides have a chance to defend themselves , but the men at Pearl had little chance for defense. The Japanese attacked at 8 AM on a Sunday morning while most of them were still asleep. The US suffered devastating losses, but were able to shoot down 29 Japanese aircraft and sink 4 mini-submarines.
When was Attack of the Killer B-Sides created?
Attack of the Killer B-Sides was created on 2010-05-25.
How did US attack Japan after the attack at Pearl Harbor?
America became a full combatant in the War. More specifically than the previous answer.. the very first attack by the US was a direct bombing flight of Tokyo. Eventually, the United States Marine Corps proceeded across the string of islands that lead to mainland Japan, claiming one after another with many thousands of fatalities on both sides. Before the main island assault, two atom bombs were dropped on Hiroshima, and then Nagasaki after the second of which, Japan surrendered thereby ending their involvement in WWII. SGT S

Where is the starboard harbor?

What were pros and cons for using the a-bomb?
It saved countless thousands of Allied soldiers lives They would have had to invade Japan from the sea he loss of life to both sides would have been far too great using conventional methods. The Allies could not have tolerated anything less than the surrender of Japan after the unprovoked attack of Pearl Harbor. Japanese leaders refused to surrender even after a complete blockaid of all ships and conventional bombing of their industry.
