How did us defeat japan during Pearl Harbor attack?

Because Pearl Harbor was only one military base in the US out of 737 total. The attack on Pearl Harbor killed 2390 people. The US military has over one million enlisted personnel. It would be like removing one bee from a bee hive and wondering why you still got stung by the other bees.


How many families were affected by Pearl Harbor?

Hundreds of thousands, if not millions, were affected by Pearl Harbor, as many men left their families to join the army. About 4,000 people were killed in the actual attack.


Why were we not ready for the bombing on pearl harbor?

Governmental officials who knew of intelligence data that indicated Japan wanted to attack the USA mistakenly underestimated and ignored the risk. Military officials left nearly all the Pacific fleet at Pearl Harbor, instead of moving/repositioning assets in other places out of harm's way. Lastly, government and military officials failed to warn military members and civilians of the intelligence data the government had, which put everyone at Pearl Harbor at risk. In addition to lives lost, the US lost considerable assets (ships, planes, weaponry, ammo). The US lagged in its response before and of course after the attack. In a cynical way it can be said the attack served to mobilize thousands of civilians--men volunteered for service and everyone wanted revenge, much like what occurred after the terrorists struck the World Trade Center on 9/11. Though Patriotism was strong before Pearl Harbor's attack, patriotism soared after the attack.


What effect did the attack on Pearl Harbor have on America's decision whether or not to join the allies in World War 2?

The attack on Pearl Harbor left no doubt it was time to step up to the plate and fight Japan and her ally Germany. They were incensed about the bombing of Pearl Harbor. At the end of the war when they found the concentration camps many Americans wished they had gone against Hitler much sooner.


What was the strategy behind the attack on Pearl Harbor?

The attack took place while the inhabitants of the military base were asleep, this left them vulnerable hence making the attack so effective.
