How did Pearl Harbor make things worse for the allies?
Pearl Harbor didn't make things worse for the allies. Pearl Harbor CAUSED the US Navy to use a better weapon; the aircraft carriers. Had the US Carriers been destroyed at Pearl harbor, the US Navy would have been forced to fight with Battleships. Japanese Carriers would have slaughtered ALL US Battleships at sea! Pearl Harbor brought the US into war with Germany; which is what Roosevelt & Churchill WANTED. Germany declared war on the US on Dec 11, 1941 (in the hopes that Japan would help Germany by opening a second "front" on Russia). Pearl Harbor "United" the US People; which is what Roosevelt wanted.
