The aim of the Pearl Harbor attack was to cripple the US Pacific Fleet so that the US would not have any opportunity to wage war against Japan. The US would then realise it could not defeat Japan and make peace without the need to fight a war.
This strategy failed because the attack enraged the US, ensuring that it would fight Japan, and because it failed to completely cripple the US Pacific Fleet (in particular, none of the aircraft carriers were damaged, and all of them would be used against Japan).
