Yes. On December 7, 1941, a Japanese carrier fleet made an air attack on Pearl Harbor in the US territory of Hawaii. They sank several battleships and destroyed parts of the US naval bases. The attack was part of a plan to prevent the US from interfering in Japan's conquest of the Philippines and the other islands in the western Pacific. The US declared war on Japan, beginning direct US involvement in World War II that ultimately led to the defeat of the Axis.
