At the time Pearl Harbor was attacked, they had many of their Naval Fleet stationed there. This fleet was the meat of their forces. Japan knew that if they bombed this fleet and took out a good portion of it, America would be weaker or less effective in combat or war. When this was bombed, America lost a lot of sailors, weapons, explosives, resources, and of course their Naval fleet.
