Pearl Harbor was attacked the day of December 7, 1941. Japan knew that U.S. would be off guard due to partying from our young soldiers. Japan also knew that they would be asleep by the morning. (y estoy guapo perros!! arriba sinaloa)


When was Pearl Harbor attacked by the Japan?

Pearl Harbor was attacked on Sunday, December 7, 1941. The Japanese army had been planning the surprise attack for some time. The United States was not at war with Japan, and not involved in WWII, so no one expected this. Just before 8am, a fleet of Japanese bomber planes called Zeros attacked. They were assisted by small submarines that snuck into the harbor. The attack was fast, brutal and effective. American ships and planes were all close together, making for easy targets. A second wave of attackers hit Pearl Harbor, causing even more extensive damage. More than 2,000 people were killed, and over 1,200 others were injured. A large portion of the American fleet was destroyed. December 7 has been known as a day that will 'live in infamy' ever since. Following this attack, America declared war on the Japanese Empire. Soon after, the country became involved in WWII.


What was society and life like before the attack on Pearl Harbor?

This was one of the main events that pulled America into WWII. Without the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, America may have maintained its neutrality. Some people thought that FDR had antagonized the attack by cutting off Japans oil supply. It was also a little questionable as to why the battleships were all in a line which made them easy to bomb.


What convince US to get involved in the war?

That's easy, the Japanese bombed us at pearl harbor.


Why did Pearl Harbor become a Japanese target?

Cause the US stopped sending Japan resources so they got pissed and they started planning to destroy Pearl Harbor (very important military base).Ima 12 year old with general knowledge :) im from kuwait.


Did the US have planes during the bombing of Pearl harbor?

Yes, but they were sitting on the runway, easy targets for the Japanese.


Why were the Japanese successful in their invasion of manchuria?

The Japanese had easy access to bomb Pearl Harbor because the Commander of the Fleet fell down on his job. He failed to practice Military Readiness. The aircraft carriers were also not in harbor so there was not enough plane coverage to fight the Japanese planes. The Commander of the Fleet was removed from his position. and also because america helped japan.


Where did Japan attack Pearl Harbor from?

Aircraft carriers, that had come from the Japanese home islands to within 100 miles of the Hawian islands. The first attack wave struck at 8am on Sunday morning, when the Japanese knew that the US navy was at it's most vulnerable, with most sailors on leave in Honolulu, and the ships would be unable to get out to sea. Torpedo attacks on ships that were stationary at their docks, made it very easy to sink them.


Why were Californians more concerned about the bombing at pearl harbor than the rest of the nation?

Since they were most vulnerable to another aircraft-carrier based attack by Japan, posessing at least two major commercial harbours and with several big industries within easy reach of Japanese bomber-fighters. Other States were either out of reach for these planes or did not have the kind of harbours or industries to make them prime targets for a Japanese attack.


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.


Who won the fight at pearl harbor?

AnswerPeal Harbor was not a battle but an attack. The Japanese claim they tried to send the message but the translators could not decode it and send it to America on time. They told us 3 hours too late. So you can say they won the battle but we won the war. It was not easy but we did it and made it look easy. AnswerThere was not a very big battle, but if you were to choose a winner, it would be the Japanese pilots, although the American solders did fight honorably. Pearl HarborThe event at Pearl Harbor is not considered a battle. It was an unexpected massacre. An unfortunate event proposed by enemy forces. A despicable act of severe proportion but, still not a battle. In addition, the retaliation of the US armed forces (nuclear weaponry of WWII) was not a battle either. Hypothetically, it could be a battle; simply because it was a mass death from an unnatural cause. Most other related situations of that extent are battles. Similar to the morning of Sept.11th you wouldn't consider that a battle, would you? In the same, December 7th was an attack that don't have an opportunity to fight back immediately. In that case, it's not a battle. No one literally won at Pearl Harbor. But in both cases (Dec. 7 and Sept. 11), the US had not struck back at that exact point in time However, give the US a quick moment, and we have always fought back. We won WWII and we have the upper hand of this war as well!Pearl HarborPearl Harbor wasn't really a "battle," per See Rather, it was a sneak attack which resulted in the deaths of over 3000 Americans and a very few Japanese. To the extent that the attack provided the impetus for America to formally declare war on Japan (and the axis powers), the attack on Pearl Harbor might be characterized as having ultimately led to the defeat of Japan, but the attack itself was generally viewed as a success. The one major failure of the attack was the inability of the Japanese planes to find and destroy the fuel reserves of the Pacific Fleet. This "oversight" allowed America to quickly rebuild the fleet and prosecute the war in the Pacific. AnswerTechnically nobody "won", as it was not a war, it was an attack. But I think I understand what you are asking, and in that case, Japan won. AnswerNo one really won, but if you look at it very closely the Japanese won. The reason why I a saying this is because all of the damage was done on the Pearl Harbor. there was no damage over there in Japan. AnswerNobody really won the battle at Pearl Harbor, but if you really have to pick a "winner" there, it would probably be the Japanese. They destroyed many ships and killed over a thousand military personal along with some 64 civilians. AnswerIt was war. There is never a winner. Some country just loses less! AnswerThe Japanese won. Their aircraft bombed, torpedoed and shot up ships and other military targets. And the did so when the military stationed there least expected it. AnswerThere was no winner. it was the Japanese surprise attack trying to destory our aircraft carriers, so technically no one succeeded because the Japanese failed to destroy our aircraft cariiers AnswerThere really were no winners. The U.S. aircraft carriers were out to sea. Although damage was done, it didn't put the U.S. out of action. And as a Japanese Commander later said, "We have woken a sleeping Dragon." That they did because the U.S. forces beat their way across the Pacific and dropped the bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki ending the conflict.America, that is when the poem "The Star Spangled Banner" was written No. My history teacher told me it was the Japanese that won.


What were the cause of Pearl Harbor?

The U.S. demanded that Japan withdraw from China and Indochina (but would have settled for a token withdrawal and a promise not to take more territory). General Hideki set November 29 as the last day on which Japan would accept a settlement without war. His deadline, which was kept secret, meant that war was going to happen. So, because America's and Japan's terms collided, so did their expectations therefore causing Japan to react.AnswerWWII was a war with 3 nations - Italy, Germany and Japan - all believing they were the ultimate race, that all other nations were inferior to them. The United States was involved through providing financial aide and supplies to the allied forces but they had not stepped up to get involved yet. Japan felt that attacking the US would provide them an easy win, and a country with a lot of land and resources to rule once they did defeat us. Japan attacked at 07:55am on December 7, 1941. They only sent 2 of the 3 waves of attacking forces before deciding enough damage had been done. But they knew that we were not going to sit back after the attack on us either. We did not have our aircraft carriers in harbor at the time so our navy was not wiped out. The Japanese forces made for home preparing for retaliaion. A large amount of the weapons used against us by Japan were made from our scrap metal to top it off.AnswerBreak down in negotiations about china between American and japan and the nee for japan to build an Asian empire
