There are several reasons why the United States was unprepared for the attack on Pearl Harbor. The greatest of these reasons was the United States and Japan were working out a non aggressor treaty. The United States also did not expect an attack to occur on a Sunday.
The US was pretty prepared for the war of Britain. The biggest problem though was Britain has more money and materials than the US did though. The correct name for this war is "The War of 1812" and back then the US was called "The Colonies"
Great Britain was unfairly taking people on American merchant and Navy ships and forcing them to work for the Royal Navy because of the British shortage of volunteers with the usual war against France. The sad thing is, when the president urged congress to declare war on Britain, Britain put an end to "enslaving" Americans. It was a mistake war that costed us terribly. America was extremely unprepared for the strong military knowledge and strategy of the opposing armies of Britain and their Indian allies. We had 7,000 regular army, but a little more militia. All of our Revolutionary War "heroes" were too old to fight.
In the war of 1812 U.S. went to war with Great Britain.
