On December 8, 1941, Singapore became involved in the Second World War. The country's entry into the war was forced upon its people. Its involvement began as an unsuccessful defense against an unexpected attack by the Japanese. The Japanese attack sank Singapore's defending British naval forces. The island previously had been so fortified by the British that Singaporeans believed themselves invulnerable to attack. The day after Pearl Harbor proved them wrong.
