December 7, 1941, was the date of the Japanese attack.
The first attack on Japanese military was just days after the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941.
the attack was tragic
The attack on Pear Harbour happened because the Japanese thought that the Americans was planning on attacking the Japanese.
There were none: There were Japanese Batleships in the fleet, but the attack was made by carrier-borne aircraft. There was also submarine attack. An attack by Japanese midget submarines as attacked & destroyed. The Japanese fleet included 2 battleships but they did not participate in the attack.
the Japanese did not lull the US into an attack on Pearl Harbor. the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor, not the other way around.
The Japanese were moving in that direction.
