How did Pearl Harbor make things worse for the allies?
Pearl Harbor didn't make things worse for the allies. Pearl Harbor CAUSED the US Navy to use a better weapon; the aircraft carriers.

Pearl Harbor brought the US into war with Germany; which is what Roosevelt & Churchill WANTED. Germany declared war on the US on Dec 11, 1941 (in the hopes that Japan would help Germany by opening a second "front" on Russia). Pearl Harbor "United" the US People; which is what Roosevelt wanted.

Why did the Lieutenant Commander of the Nevada intentionally grounded the ship at Pearl Harbor?
To ground a ship means to steer it into water too shallow for it to float so that it gets stuck on the bottom. Normally you want to avoid this at all costs. In the case of the Nevada, when the attack started she tried to make a run for it and get out of the harbor. She didn't make it. She was torpedoed and began to sink. If she had sunk in the channel into the harbor she would have blocked it and it would have been months before she could be hauled off. The entire surviving fleet would have been stuck in Pearl Harbor during that entire time. So, the captain or the executive officer, whoever was in charge, deliberately grounded the ship to avoid blocking the harbor. Michael Montagne
What ship made a run for it?
During the attack on Pearl Harbor the U.S.S Nevada tried to make a run for it but they were damaged and too close to the harbor entrance to make it without blocking all passage in or out of the harbor. They chose to ground near the hospital to keep the harbor entrance open and have a chance to save the ship.
