Best Answer

It was not morally justified for Japan to attack Pearl Harbor. Elements of the Japanese Imperial High Command believed that conflict with the United States was inevitable and that a "first strike" would knock the Americans out of the war. The Japanese had hoped to catch the three American carriers at anchor in Pearl Harbor, but failed.

While the Japanese seriously damaged the American fleet, it failed to land a lethal blow. The American carrier-fleet helped to stop the Japs at Coral Sea and then at Midway a few months later. The Battle of Midway began the reversal of Japan's fortune in the Pacific.

How did Pearl Harbor attack Japan?

You have some serious reading to do. Pearl Harbor did not attack Japan. The US Naval Base at Pearl Harbor HI was attacked by the Japanese on Dec 7, 1941. The American ships were tied up at their morring points in the harbor, and there had been no declaration of war. This was an unprovoked attack by Japan on the United States.
