Best Answer

During World War II, the Japanese victory at Pearl Harbor in December of 1941 was indeed a "great but not total" victory. Its immediate shortcoming was that, for all its success, it did not knock out the base entirely: within days it was fully functional once again. A longer-term result of the victory was that it galvanized the American fighting spirit: America went to war without any doubt that a full and dedicated effort would be necessary -- and fitting.
