How successful and for what reasons was the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor?

The attack on Pearl Harbor occurred in an attempt by the Japanese to gain control of as much land as possible. The attack itself was very successful by damaging the ships in harbor. The one major point that was not expected was that none of the Aircraft carriers were in the harbor during the attack. Had they been, the US Navy would have nearly been wiped out according to information I have read. The information I have has come from various websites and books like "Day of Infamy" by Walter Lord.


Which island was not attacked on December 7 1941 by the Japanese?

On December 7, 1941, the Japanese attacked several locations in the Pacific, including Pearl Harbor in Hawaii. However, the island of Midway was not attacked on that day. Midway was strategically important but was not targeted during the initial assault, as the Japanese focused on crippling the U.S. Pacific Fleet at Pearl Harbor. The attack on Midway would come later, in June 1942, during the pivotal Battle of Midway.
