How did US leaders respond to the bombing of Pearl Harbor?

Answer 1

The US leaders responded by declaring war on Japan and Germany (Japan's ally). They were furious and sad about the bombing and death. They spent weeks trying to figure out how to recover from the bombing and devise strategies to fight on two fronts. Eventually they had their revenge when the Doolittle Raid bombed Tokyo. It was a real morale booster to the leaders and the American people.

Answer 2

The reaction was the same, with the same results: December 7, brought on World War Two (a global war) with the US entry into the war; September 11, brought on the Global War on Terrorism.
